p&gd 365 Frances. Cannot seem to find the magnetic lasso tool anywhere and I have looked. Finally managed to post a ticket about the 365Pro issue, guess I'll have to do one about this issue as well.

Hooray I found jt. Definitely a good tool. Thanks Frances.

I have found that the magnetic lasso is a wonderful tool for tracing.

yes it is very cool, for me this tool alone worth the upgrade to Xara Designer Pro 12

in my experiments with it I think it cut down on tracing time, and for me thats a good bonus as these days my free time is limited.

I finished the orchid drawing it can be seen here

Oooh, that's a nice trick! Thanks Frances.

Maybe a convert selection to shape button could be useful.

When you trace with the magnetic lasso you already have a bitmap filled shape it's just the fill you are changing I looked to see if one could set a keyboard shortcut to fill with a default flat fill in DP but that doesn't seem to be the case. You can however set a single keystroke to bring up the fill tool. Mine is set to G
