Re: XPGD 15 - Major error - resizing font
I'm having great difficulty believing that no-one from MAGIX/XARA is commenting on this. It's NOT a bug, as I believe it was done deliberately to make the WEB DESIGNERS job's easier. It seems that MAGIX/XARA are of the opinion that this software is primarily for people who want to design web sites, and pictures should NEVER be smushed/squashed or ever distorted in any way.
In my opinion this software is rapidly losing it's right to call itself either DESIGNER or PRO. I can see a use for this feature in many instances. However, it seems ridiculous (as Steve said earlier) that it doesn't come with a huge ON/OFF switch, which is what I would expect the DELIBERATELY designed Aspect ratio LOCK on the INFOBAR to do. One thing that always bothered me about that lock, is that it only worked on corners. So I was always careful to edit only by corners. Making it work on all eight points instead of locking the aspect ratio permanently would have done virtually the same thing without destroying the MASSIVE FUNCTIONALITY of DELIBERATELY TURNING IT OFF!
Sorry ... the more I type, the angrier I'm getting. As far as I can see my "upgrade" from Version 10 (which to be honest, I said I wouldn't do as I DON'T EVER want subscription software), has been a COMPLETE waste of money.
