    gcellison, thank you for the critique.

    The Name gallery is unchanged in XDPXv17 and has been in other Pro version through v5 to date.
    The one I like most is the Slices aspect in the Name gallery as this allows you to transform and change shape, when you change a linked other shape.

    As you surmise, a lot of innovation that seems now to have been squandered.
    The question I pose is XDPX worth upgrading to to get these extras?
    I find it sad that someone's job is to cut out functionality to repacking the remainder into a "web" or a "photo" product.

    I couldn't agree more.

    A quick correction:

Again, the work can be done in Xtreme 5 and copied over to a WDP project, as long as no further subsequent modifications are needed.
    Upon further investigation, I found that since the effects are not present in WDP, they are lost if the entity is copied over. So those live effects are unavailable to a WDP project.

    Without playing, might this simply be that XWDP needs to point to the same location for the Plug-Ins?

    Interesting possibility. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to look or how to point to it. Novice.
