Xara :: REGEDIT Value Change To Widen Active Area Of Gallery Borders
Apr 15, 2011
I like the dark skin, but it seems more difficult to grab the bottom of the Color Gallery in order to stretch it down. The Grey was easier. The area where the mouse converts to the double arrow is quite narrow. At least for an old shaky man like me. Is there a REGEDIT value I could change to widen the "active" area of the gallery borders for the purpose of stretching them?
If I move my cursor within 25 pixels of a transform control, it activates it. So, on smaller objects it becomes impossible to slide them. Because every time I have the mouse over the object, it is snapping to a transform handle.Thus, when I click, I am now either rotating or scaling the object.
Is there some way to limit this active area to only 3 pixels around the handle, or turn off the cursor snapping to them?
Is there a method to move gallery tabs so that Page & Layer Gallery tab is first in line (at the top) of docked gallery tabs at the right of the screen? I can move gallery tabs, but cannot make Page & Layer gallery tab move to the top.
I've recently migrated from AutoCAD 2008 (non-industry specific) to AutoCAD 2010 so I don't know if this was an issue in 2009.
Back in 2008, when I choose the 'window' option when specifying a plot area, AutoCAD would show the workspace so that I could manually select a windowed plot area, and at the same time the whole workspace would be greyed out except the previously active window area.
This was handy, because we can have as many two dozen title-blocks (and therefore separate viewports) in paperspace, and knowing what plot area I last plotted or added as a saved page setup.
In 2010, it no longer does that. I now have to rely on the dashed border to know where the active plot area is/was (checked 'display printable area' in options>display tab) which I personally don't really like using.
I am owner of the Xtreme5 Xara version (i've not already get more recents ones ! ), and I would like to know if it is possible to change the text area, not to have a squirreled shape for this text. (Or if there another method, I am interested in too !)
Very useful when you have to surround the shape of a picture, for instance...
Is it possible to change the alignment of text within a text area?
By default the text is located top left. Horizontal justification can make this top center or top right, but how about bottom left / center / right or even middle left / center / right?
i drawed to rectangles and rotated them. wheni know want to export the image as PNG or GIF the border is not smoothed, there is a pixelic effect; see attachments.
i want to export them as png or gif, because the background should be transparent.
I have a blend from a small rectangle with 5 steps, so in total 7 small ones.
Beside I have drawn a circle, and so selecting the blend, with shift click also the circle, I would like with Blend Tool apply the Rotate along curve function.
But somehow that is not active, only the Fit Blend to curve, but would need rather the rotate.
what it depends whether the Rotate along curve button is active in Blend tool?
After upgrading to Extreme 5 I cannot make animated segments. Is there something else I need to install? The Frame Gallery is grayed out. On my previous version it was always available whenever I opened the program.
I'm trying to add a new layer to my graphic and when I go to the Pages/Layers Gallery, there are no options for layers. Am I missing something? I'm using XDP X.
I have an original copy of Corel Xara that I purchased many years ago.
On the disc is a huge amount of clip art and other items, I tried to incorporate these into the Designs Gallery but whilst I could get the graphics to work I could not get the images to show in the drop downs against the icons in the designs gallery. I just got a grey blank panel with the graphic name. This means that I still have to search through the manual to find a specific graphic.
Fortunately I also have the 500'ish page manual (approx 100 per page) for the clip art/symbols/fonts/etc..etc.
I may not use many of the graphics but it would be good to be able to install selected images with the pictures.
Today, I've been mostly trying to get the Cloud Gallery 2 widget to work as advertised. According to the instructions, once the photos I want to use are in place I can -
'Set text shown when mousing over the image using the caption field on the image tab of the Utilities > Web Properties dialog. Do this for all images.'
I've done this, but all I can get to appear is the main title of the widget itself. At no point can I get individual captions to appear describing the graphic.
I know I must be doing something wrong but I've never had this problem before. I am trying to place a line on my worksheet by dragging it from the line gallery. Nothing happening. I can select it and see it drag, but as soon as I release the mouse button it disappears. Also tried using the "apply" button on the gallery.
Currently running designer Pro X, I am finally getting around to trying to build or add additional bitmaps to my gallery so that I can customize my graphics. I cannot find, the bitmaps Gallery on my original install disk. Where can I find quality bitmaps to add to my gallery? Once I locate either a complete file and/or a single image how do I permanently added to my gallery file so that when I launch Xara the bitmaps will be available any time I want to use them as a fill from the paint menu?
I recently purchased Designer Pro 7 after a trial period. During the trial, I had the default brush gallery, and had also downloaded some additional brushes. After downloading the content pack earlier this week, my brush gallery disappeared. The only brush that is available is the "normal line". All of my "galleries" are checked in the Utilities menu. How to get the brush gallery back?
I have clipped a photo to remove the background and now want to replace one of the images in a website gallery. I know I can delete the original image and replace it but is there a way I can drag my new picture over the old one and replace it like I can when I drag an image from the Bitmap Gallery?
I presume it isn't possible as the original image is a square or rectangle that is filled with the bitmap and the clipped image is an irregular shape.
The color gallery allows me to change the sort order of the palettes. How do I make the new sort order "stick" so I don't have to re-do it each time I reuse the gallery?
I'm used from XDP6 to having the P&L Gallery stay the size I set it to - whereas in XDP7, when I press 'Pages' to reduce the listing into page names only - the panel suddenly shrinks to the left, given that the names only occupy a small space. This bugs me, esp at it shunt the page I'm working on to the left by the same amount as well.
My work PC says it is W7 64bit, Xeon E5504 2.0GHz ( 2 processors ) with 24GB. I am not sure how fancy that is but it sure has a lot of memory.
I have a 400 page, 13MB .xar
In XDPX8: ------------- Scrolling the PageGallery thumbs was super fast. Scrolling the whole document was a bit laggy but just acceptable ( not really ). BUT the delay between clicking on a PageGallery thumb and that page being rendered was unacceptable ( ~15secs ).
So, unable to navigate at a workable speed, I gave up and split the document into several separate files.
In XDPX9 64bit: --------------------- It's just the same. If anything the delay after clicking a page Gallery thumb is longer. So I guess memory was never the problem ?
I have created a simple animation with 6 frames in the gallery. I want to link each individual frame to different websites. So, as the animation on the site is changing, you can click on one frame, and it takes you to one site, or you click on the next frame and it takes you to another site.
Is there event for change current (active) layer of document?
(it's not Database.ObjectModified - it's not raised).
I tried to do it with binding as:
public void Initialize() { var layerList = Application.UIBindings.Collections.Layers; layerList.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(LayerList_PropertyChanged);
And -= in Terminate, but... Autocad 2012 chashed _sometimes_!!!
Impossible to understand when it happened. So I reject this way. Is there other way to handle this event?
Changes all dimensions, balloons, ect (define more if you want) to current object default in active standard.
