FEATURE REQUEST: Xara Designer - Fill Command

[jonwalker]

Pauland - yes I agree this may be helpful, good suggestion, thank you. :-) There seems to be a lot of talk about this and that being good. But I'll make a simple example to illustrate why this kind of simple command would be quite practical and helpful. Picture, thousand words, etc.

I think that the double-click as per CorelDraw on the last node to close a shape would be a good enhancement.

You can do this in Xara by pressing 'Enter' with the last node selected.

A common example would be to create an shape outlining a line drawing with a heavier stroke.

In this example done in illustrator a rectangle is drawn outside the drawing and the shape builder tool is used to "fill" this area in green.

Yep. But my hand is already on the mouse. While it may not be a great amount of extra time, there are drawings I do that moving the hand to the keyboard and back again do add up in time used.

Sometimes product requests are more in the enhancement category than a whole new thing.

Take care, Mike

I use my other hand.
