Xara :: Changing Two Points

Feb 8, 2012

I have found finally one of the "not so changeable" lines that bugged me.I believe it's not really a filled unclosed object. Xara draws the line always, but the segment seems not to exist. And I was not able to close it or change it, only deleting it worked. Here is what I've done:

1. Create an "X" with the text tool, using the font "Abbess".
2. Increase it so it has about 400 pixels width.
3. Convert it to editable shapes.
4. With the shape editor select all points.
5. Put the smooth slider to 100%.

Now the upper left of the X has two points that seem to stick togother, even if you just want to select one of them. But then I was able to drag one away and increase the line. But I could not change it to a curve or anything.

Xara :: Snapping To Grid Points?

Jan 25, 2011

when using grids to draw, is there a way to get xara to snap to only points? lol i know i suck at art haha! but i think im getting just a tad bit better. no really today i drew a head and the other day i drew a car. at least i figured out how to draw on an isometric grid. i was using serif draw plus and i noticed that x4 has a psuedo 3d (which basically uses an isometric grid with snapping to angle. i know how the concept works now but im having some trouble snapping to the points. sure i could draw a flat car or a flat person but id rather keep at it till i understand depth. my current goal is to learn to draw depth through using an isometric grid.

Xara :: Changing Color Of Bullets Without Changing Text Color

I am having trouble in changing the color of the bullets without changing the text color. Problem is I cannot select/highlight just the bullet so any new color selected applies to the whole line including bullet and text. I am using DP v 7.

Xara :: How Many Control Points Are On Object In Designer Pro As Default

Dec 4, 2011

what does it depends that how many control points are on an object in Designer Pro as default?

For example in Shape Tool creating a horizontal line (click and somewhere beside CTRL - click), at me it creates control points at the end of the lines plus two ones on the line.

That is super anyway because immediately can be seen where is the 33% of the line length, but could be set somehow this that how many control point should be as default?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Scaling Points Without Changing Elevations

Oct 28, 2009

Any way to scale points, and or objects in a 2 dimensional manner only? I've got a bunch of survey points imported from a csv file, and they are at a grid scale. I need to scale the data by a factor of 1.000125 in this case to get ground distances between the points for the client. I do not want the elevations to change.

In LDDT this was not an issue as I always had the points inserted at zero elevation, but they maintained the elevation data as part of the point. It seams that in Civil 3D my points automatically appear at true elevation, so when I scale a group of points, the elevations changes as well as the elevation of any lines connected to the points. Is there a way to work 2 dimensionally with 3D data?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Moving Points With Nod Grip Without Elevation Changing

Nov 13, 2013

I recently upgraded from Civil 3D 2009 to Civil 3D 2014.  In Civil 3D 2009 I was able to set the point style 3D modeling to flatten the point to a 0.00 elevation. In doing this I could move the point around freely using the nod grip without the elevation changing weather I used object snap or just freehand placed the point.

For some reason with 2014 when I grab the nod grip it changes the elevation to 0.00 as soon as I move it from the location it currently sits despite the fact that everything is set the same as it was setup for 2009.  Is there a setting that I need to change to fix this or is there a new way to go about moving the point without using a bunch of different commands.

Xara :: Changing Shadow Color?

Jul 2, 2011

I have the attached image. It is the letters A & D combined, I'm trying to change the shadow color. I selected the shadow in the Layer Gallery and used the Color editor to change the color with no luck. Is there some other approach? I'm just playing around with the image to try to stylize it a little, so it would stand out on a black or white background. The creative part is not a strength.

Xara :: Changing Color Of Extrude

Aug 19, 2012

Have a look on the attached picture, in Extrude tool is there possibility to change the color of the depth dimension? My target would be just a simple brown, however also good question can be added bitmap fill on the sides? But if that would be brown instead of the current gray, that is absolutely okay for my targets, as I can see sure there is no line applied on the object so that should be controlled somewhere else

Xara :: Changing Font To Editable Shape

Jun 26, 2012

I have been working on a book cover for a client and was asked to modify a capital letter in the chosen font. The letter "S" had a curly q at the top that needed to be removed. I converted the letter to an editable shape and deleted the offending nodes. Along the way I had to break the points and then reconnect. When I broke the points, Xara split the shape into 2 layers for some reason so I could not rejoin the points later. I ended up combining the layers and was able to rejoin the nodes that way.

The problem I had was that when everything was reconnected, I could only color the outline, the shape would not fill. I ended up having to export as a PNG to Photoshop, created an adjustment layer and painted it in. Everything looks great BUT I would have preferred to just reconnect the nodes and fill the letter in Xara.

Xara :: No Option For Changing Line Width To 6 Px

Jan 9, 2012

I'm doing Gary's Create a Sunflower and pot (July 2008) tutorial and just as always I run into problems combining/converting shapes. I believe I have followed the tut exactly and the only thing my lines do is taper at the bottom.

Also, I'm using Designer 7 and there is no option for changing line width to 6 px, only 4 and 8. So I'm using 8 pxls. I tried typing in a 6 and hitting enter but it doesn't accept a 6.

Xara :: NAVBAR - Changing Color Of Existing Navigation Bar

Apr 22, 2011

it's been a bit tough going getting up to speed with WD6. I find myself running into snags just using the interface and trying to get things done.

At any rate, what I am running into currently is that I have a working toolbar from a template, but I need to change it's colors for both mouse off and mouse over. I saw the video and it makes it look very easy by going into the navbar->properties->menu style and simply select the colors you want. This is having no visible effect for me..

How can I change the colors of my existing navbar? I hope I won't have to recreate it each time I want to change the colors, etc.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 / Changing TOP View To TOP-Front View For 2 Overlapped Points

Sep 23, 2013

I created 8 points (4 locations with 2 depths in each location) in the DWG of my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 project. I grouped these 8 points into 2 Point Groups: Point Group 1-high depth has Points #1, #3, #5, #7, and Point Group 2-low depth has #2, #4, #6, #8. I changed the 2D Wireframe to 3D Wireframe and on TOP view I saw Point Group 1 is on the top of Point Group 2 (because the 2 Point Groups have the same values of X- and Y-coordinates with different Z(elevation) value - see the first attached file. How can I change the TOP view to the TOP-FRONT view by using some Command to get this fixed TOP-Front view thar has the good separation of the 2 depths as shown in the second attached file?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Large Surface - Converting Points To Cogo Points

Mar 5, 2013

I have a large surface (over 1.5 million points and 20 000hectares)

I need to get a point file .csv from the TIN to be able to use it in another program.

-so i've extracted the points from my surface, but they are Autocad points.

-next step is to convert them to civil 3d points.

-I can not select them all when converting them or my computer crashes.

-so i select about 25 000 at a time, the converting takes roughly 10 minutes.

and i have over 1.5 million points to do.

how can i speed this up.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Moving Points Out Of All Points Group?

Apr 10, 2013

I have a project that was started by leaving all the survey data inside the "All Points" group.  So, I'm concerned that when I enter my as built survey points, that even if I put them into their own group, that the original surface will still look at them and just rebuild to my asbuilt data, effectively cancel out the purpose of the asbuilt survey.  Will this happen? 

I want to take the original points and put them into a group of their own, but I don't know if that will affect anything or not?  I have several wetlands already designed on that surface with volume calcs already done too. 

What should I do?

AutoCad :: Plot Points - Using Distances From Two Known Points?

Jul 31, 2011

I have two locations marked by steel stakes on my land that are also shown on a CAD drawing. The CAD drawing is two dimensional; however, contours are shown. I have physically measured distances between these two known points and numerous other locations that I wish to plot on the CAD drawing. I could always print the CAD drawing to scale and plot the new points on the CAD printout by using the two known locations, a compass to draw arcs and locating the new points by where the arcs intersect. I am sure there is a much more efficient way to plot these new points within the CAD program itself. I have just started to use CAD;
