Xtreme 4 - another update

[willdean]

It seems that this might be rather more complicated than people are hoping - for example, what happens if you rotate an object, then group it and then rotate the group, then set the internal object back to an angle of zero?

I suspect Xara's answer will be their usual one for this sort of feature request, that they don't like to have lots of implicit 'remembered' state for drawing objects.

Remembering the rotation (and the scale factor) can be useful but it can also be a hinderance; it just depends on what you are doing and how you go about doing it.

If Xara decides to go this route, then it should be something one can toggle on and off and also be able to flush stored values out and not have the object change it currents shape/footprint/orientation, etc.

Noticed that Xara is taunting Adobe with a comparison to Illy for speed on the website ..... now are we going to get that blend that you had up your sleeve for awhile ? Illy can then be laid to rest ;-) I know a number of people rapidly jump up and down at the mention of this but it really is most useful. Check Advanced PS mag. issue 40 which is probably 'Feb', pg 19 for an example.
