Shadow Tool Upgrade

[steps]

I'm currently using Xara Xtreme Pro 4. Well, I do an extremely large amount of drop shadows in my work. I had mentioned adding an option to be able to set the shadow tool like how we set the line widths and line styles. Well, when I use the shadow tool on almost every thing I build in a scene. I always want the shadow to be darker and crisper than the standard setting of 50% and 6pix. I would like to put that on the upgrade request list because it would be really cool to set the Shadow Tool to my preference. Thanks for a great program. I'm using it 14 hours a day and loving almost every minute of it.

Agreed. The ability to set shadow defaults would be very helpful.

Hello,
I came from photoshop and I noticed that the shadow tool no matter I try to adjust it is still does not give me the same effect in photoshop , I think it need some enhancements

thanks

I agree with Steps request

Just a little nitpick about the original post.... the default shadow in 75% and 6 pix, not 50%.

Thanks for the support guys. Yeah, I wish the default setting was 50 so that I wouldn't have to change it 20x per day. But of course thats my style. I like a bit more constrast within my designs. Well, Keep up the good work Xara, you rock!

.....so that I wouldn't have to change it 20x per day.

You should have to in the same Xara document.
Once you have set the shadow to 50% / 6pix (for example) - simply copy the object (ctrl+C) then for each new object where you want the same shadow setting, select it and press Ctrl+SHIFT+A (paste attributes). This will apply the same shadow settings every time.
(Note: It will also paste various other settings too - so be aware of this)
