Funny. I have been thinking on moving away from Xara for my Illustration work and going bitmap just because there wasn't a tool like the shape builder to quickly add detail. These days budgets are going down so anything that can speed things up is vital so this really will add a new lease of life to XDP for me.

A couple of requests for this fantastic new addition.

1. No nodes while drawing but they show when a previously drawn tool is selected. This would make sketching and roughing out possible.

2. A smoothing tool so that we can draw over a previously drawn area to smooth it - Build up the smoothing gradually by repeated application. (Quicker and more organic than selecting the nodes and using the smoothing slider to do this)

3. a fill tool that can fill enclosed areas created by the the shape builder tool.

Huge Regards
