The start of the line moves away
Hello, I am sorry I am a beginner and I cannot find this topic in the other posts.
I have installed different versions of Xara Photo &...
When I create a line with the shape tool, it moves the start of the line away (it does not let me start where I want). It does not happen with every version of Xara, so I guess is some setting, but I do have been comparing and trying to figure out how to change this option and I cannot find it.
Can anybody help me, please? Thank you in advance! Regards, M.

Hi Skalunda & welcome to TalkGraphics.
This shouldn't be happening. Perhaps it's a setting on your PC that's causing this. Have you got you Windows display setting set to the maunfactured recommendations?

Click on the page with the Shape Tool to start the line. Click again where you want to end the line or the line segment.
Does this not work?

Thank you for the reply, I think my computer fulfills the recommendations. This is happening with Pro, but not with 18, so I think I should stick to 18).

Hello!
Thank you for asking. I have tried it before. It does not work for me with the Pro Version.

Hello,
Thank you for asking. The grid is off, but the option snap to objects is on.
Best regards, M.-
P.S. After reading your message (and started this answer) I switched it off (the snap to objects option) and it is still doing the same (not allowing me to start the line where I want).

Next question. Does this happen in a new document?

Hello,
Thank you again. This is very interesting. I just opened a new document and it seems I can start and end some lines where I wish.
I do not know if it is related, but some of the documents causing me problems are pretty recent too (I created the most recent two days ago), but there I am working with photographs that I use as templates for drawing.
The one I just opened did not have any pictures, so I wonder if it has to do with working with photographs.
Best regards, M.-
