XDP7.1.1 - Convert to editable shapes on context menu, where's it gone!

[Ampa]

Convert to Editable Shapes no longer appears on my right click / context menu in XDP 7.1.1.17621

Not sure when it disappeared... 7, 7.1, 7.1.1

Should it be there? Is it me? Can I get it back?

[I know I can use the Arrange Menu, or Ctrl+Shift+S but am simply used to right-clicking!]

Thanks.

The option is still there on my system. I do not know of a way to remove or add any built in options.

Do you have an object selected when you use the right click pop-up?

Thanks for the confirmation that it SHOULD be there.

I noticed an odd thing... although I know that I downloaded the latest update the version number in the About box still showed the previous version.

I tried a reinstall of the latest download, but it only offered Uninstall - so I concluded that the program thought it was up-to-date.

I decided to Uninstall, and then Reinstall.

Tada - both issues seem fixed - version number is correct, and Convert to Editable shapes is back on the context menu!

Thanks again.

Hmm... still not 100% happy with this...

I don't get the context menu option to Convert to Editable Shapes everywhere I might expect it. For example, right clicking on a Photo doesn't have the choice, although it is a perfectly valid request, and is accessible via the main menu.

The question isn't why the context menu doesn't show it, but why the selection in the Arrange menu isn't disabled. I don't think that operation on a photo can/does anything.

take care, Mike

From the help file:

Convert to Editable Shapes (Arrange control bar Ctrl+Shift+S)
Convert predefined objects such as rectangles, ellipses, and text into shapes, i.e. Designer Pro no longer sees them as rectangles, ellipses or text but as a collection of straight and curved lines.

Take care, Mike
