resizing a drawing

[Egg Bramhill]

I can replicate that Mike. A 200 softness creates a 40 px feathering. The maximum feathering is 50px, so resizing to a big amount looses definition.

Javier, have you considered creating a large dpi bitmap as an alternative?

Egg,
That is what I am going to do to try to solve the problem in part, but If I need to rescale parts of the drawing I will be in problems, the same occurs when I have to create a huge image, I will loose resolution.
The client asks me to do it in vector to be able to resize it to any size without loosing resolution, and I have to send him the xar file and he/she is going to change size.
I had experienced this kind of things with some drawings with lots of clipviews and feathering, everytime I wanted to convert the whole drawing to editable shapes the job became a completely mess, now I think that it is the same cause the origin of that matter.
Unfortunately I use a lot of clipviews due to the lack of a tool to paint inside a shape boundaries, I think that should be very in handy, clipviews is another thing not well resolved in xara I've reported them some clipview issues.
I learnt I will have to draw always big to avoid resizing problem, I hope not to face new problems doing it that way.
Thank you very much for your help, you make the difference.
Best regards.

jvila, i have been messing around with this and did what you said and like mwenz I also could not recreate the problem. I have had times in 6h4 past where one object wold resize bit not both, that was not the case here. I thought perhaps both objects were not selected or grouping both might help but not so. Sp I am still in the dark. Sorry
