Default no fill color on Photo & Graphic Designer

[handrawn]

Just left-click the 'no colour' icon on the Colour Bar immediately after opening a new document; one click a document is not a big burden.

except that this does not persist beyond the first object drawn unless you also define an outline width, [xara does not like creating shapes with no fill and no outline on the hoof] - by which time I could have accessed a style shape with the correct width more easily - the outline width will vary so I cannot define a specific opening value in the template file infobar [even if that is possible to do at all].... so however you prefer to do it...

OK, fair cop. Three clicks as you need to define a Line Width. Oh, and firstly a Line Colour... ...and probably, yes, ensure objects have most recent attributes set.

I've checked my workflow and picking 'no colour' then a line colour (defaults to 0.5pt width) retains my settings for all subsequent objects when most recent attributes are set. Still not too bad through.

Perhaps I should have kept quiet. I've always been happy with Ctrl+C then Ctrl+Shift+A.

Which is why i stick with Xara products, they are flexible, most of the time.
