One way to erase without having a dedicated 'Eraser Tool' in Xara Xtreme, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, and Xara Designer Pro.

OK, maybe it's more constructive to demonstrate why a dedicated 'Eraser Tool' is really not needed in Xara's graphic applications. Literally, an 'eraser' of almost any shape can be quickly manufactured using the standard design tools. You can even color it pink if you'd like. See the attachments for a quick demo.

Other times you can give the illusion of having 'erased' a portion of an object or image by merely drawing the required shape and positioning the shape over the area that you would like to appear missing. Need a 'softer eraser' effect? Just apply a bit of feathering to the overlying shape.

On the other hand, if a majority of Xara's customers, or potential customers, want an 'Eraser Tool', I say, "Give them erasers!"

Cool Stuff,
Harry
