Strange results when converting perspective mould of bitmap to editable shapes

[feklee]

That's expected behavior.

Thanks.

bitmaps lose perspective if you [...] convert them to editable shapes...

They don't just use the perspective applied with the mold. Instead the result is a distorted bitmap, sometimes with corners clipped, sometimes even close to the mold. It could be that Xara tries to approximate the mold using other tools, such as clip, shear, rotate, and resize.

Arrange>Create Bitmap Copy (Shift, Control +C) will retain the distortion.

That's how I'm doing it now - see above. It requires me thinking about resolution, though.
