XD7 - Why no pen tool?

[Squeaky]

I'm at a bit of a loss. Why was the pen tool dropped?
I use it quite a bit. Is the Shape tool better if so how?

pen tool still there

shift+5 still work

if you want the button its on the button palette - you can alt+drag it onto the toolbar

Yes, the Icon is hidden under the Shape editor tool.

I'm not sure but pressure support seems better in this version!

that would be the freehand and brush tool rather than the pen tool?

the pressure support does seem better - but in my case I've just upgraded my graphics card, and that may well be a factor...

Yes, total tool confusion here!!

Flyout toolbars only serve to cause confusion about where tools are located, IMHO. Fortunately Xara's toolbars (controlbars) are easily changed to fit your needs.
