    Default Designer Pro X Marketing

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Designer Pro X(15) due to an Marketing feature I thought would have a Video on how to create the effect. On discovering there was no How to Video I contacted support.
    Here is the answer received.
    quote :'Thank you for your link.

    Whilst all the tools used in the video are within Xara, the manner they are displayed in isn't (with the whole wheel that comes up). That's marketing unfortunately nothing we in technical support can comment on, other than forward it onto marketing and let them feel some heat for it.

    If there is anything however you wish to know how to do we can explain it to you.'
    I am very disappointed a
    https://www.talkgraphics.com/clear.gif Edit Postt the response...I would think that 'Marketing and Xara would have some tutorial on achieving what they promoted in the advertisement.

    Perhaps Marketing's next presentation will be using Xara to create a smoke and mirrors effect.

    Heh heh.

    Jim - I suspect that even if there were a special tool, it would not have necessarily been used. Since no one can find the actual image it is hard to say but if you are creative I am sure you can find a way to replicate the effect.

    The old "bait & switch" does have it charms, doesn't it? Even in online magic shops, they still try to make videos of current illusions that cannot be done the way they are shown in the videos. Ain't they a "stinker"? Shame on corporations for using unfair marketing strategies. Bummer. Isn't "bait & switch" illegal in most places? And, if not, it should be. It's certainly highly unethical. That's my rant and I'm sticking with it.
