I am still fighting with Xara Designer Pro X 11. and using my Pro X instead. In PRO X 11 cannot use my custom toolbar, when Xara crashes (too often) the tool-bar vanish completely and I have to start all over creating a new custom toolbar. The only good thing was the Art brush. I created a very nice hair brush and need the whole drawing to export out as pure vector. To my horror it convert my brush to bitmap which is useless for my purpose. I had SO hoped there would be more news on the graphic functions in this update - NOT!
GUYS I started using Xara 10 years ago because of the vector usage and NOT for bitmap use. I use InDesign when I do text graphics... and other software for web designs and bitmap purposes. PLEASE keep up the vector functions. That how it all started
