HELP. I have read page after page. Can someone just give me the how to answer please.
I have a logo, an image. I want to squish the height. I can not figure out how to do that. Use to simply grap the top and pull down. I am using ver 16.
thanks!
You need to do four things:
- Use the Select tool
- Ensure the Selection Bounds Handles icon is active (pressed in)
- Untick the hidden Smart Transform option - right-click the Aspect Ratio button
- Email Xara and complain

I have to resurrect this thread ...
Having just got a new laptop, I've had to re-install my copy of XP&GD16 ... and the version I was left with was 15.0.0, so I'm back to not being able to squish/squash. I was under the impression that Kate said that bugfixes would be included (and that's really is a bug), 15.0.0 doesn't have any bugfixes at all ... Is the final decision that this is what I have to stick with? ... So do I now have to reinstall my XP&GD10 to get back to having a functional design program?
If I had bought V15 under the previous rules, I would have got all the updates to V15 to keep forever, but never seen V16. It seem very unfair that now I have virtually useless software ... at least V10 WILL do what I need it to do - V15 WILL NOT.

I see that xara have asked on TG for beta testers - never known that in all the time I have been here... they had/have beta testers of course, and there is a [restricted access] beta-tester forum... but maybe no-one is coming forward any more
maybe a lack of beta testers is what causes the sort of thing this thread is about...
the licence was badly thought out imo; surely after so many years of users being able to port their software to a new computer in a non-regressive state xara would have realised how much good-will they would lose - they can dress it up in any corporate-speak way they like, but to a long time user it is a regression

Nothing lasts forever...
Just as an example of why this is so important (I know we've been through this before, but this is a brilliant example from 2007 ... That CANNOT be reproduced with version 15.0.0 - or at least I can't reproduce it), I go back to a January 2007 tutorial from Gary Preister ... http://archive.xaraxone.com/tutorials/jan07/ ... This is a screen capture from the tutorial. Can someone at XARA please explain why not being able to produce this 12 years later is a forward step?
Unless I decide to re-purchase the update service, I will be throwing V15 away and going back to V10.

Sorry @Keith,
Don't want to be a partypooper but it can be done.
Just use the mouldtool for this
the issue is only with one version 15.0; it was fixed in version 15.1 onwards by introducing the 'smart transform' option mentioned earlier - that is turn smart transform off; it still is not quite the way it was but workable
I realise that the mould tool will also do this specific operation, in vector anyway [using the xara mould tool on a bitmap brings problems of it's own] - but there is more to it than just that
