Greetings all,
I set about producing what I thought was a simple task: a set of individual star (or in my case 'heart') rating web graphics. Like this
Having generated a master heart icon (filled outline + highlight and shadow layers), I copied this to a new document, scaled it and duplicated the resulting mini-sized hearts into a line of five. Since my ratings are out of a possible five hearts, once everything was precisely positioned I then copied the line/group to create a duplicate below the first one. I then grey-filled the last heart in the second line group, and worked my way down until I had fine lines, each with an extra grey heart, like this:
So far, so good.
I then wanted to export each line of grouped objects as an individual graphic, so selected the line, Right-Clicked and exported, which resulted in the whole page being exported. Hmmm...
Next, I Right-Clicked a line and this time copied it onto a new document page - this behaved as expected, copying just the one line I'd selected. Why not for the Export?
Bottom Line: I can't see how to export just a single object, or crop the page/document to exclude unwanted areas from the exported graphic.
In Corel Draw MANY years ago I was able to simply marque-select an object and export it - why not in up-to-date Xara? It's also frustrating not being able to find help on this topic, hence my post here. This is turning out to be a steep learning-curve! :0(
All suggestions very welcome.
