Xara :: Setting Zero White Space Between Series Of Graphics
May 30, 2013
I quite often want to have a series of graphics lined up horizontally or vertically with no space between them, so I can use them as one image. Evenly distributing white space doesn't work because depending on the positions of the two end images they either overlap or there is white space between them.
The Serif DrawPlus alignment options has an option for evenly distributing (like Xara), but also has the option of specifying the number of pixels of white space ('spacing), with negative, zero and positive values.
I've spent most of today doing some print design in xdp7, I like the software a lot especially the live effects, however there seems to be a problem I'm experiencing using them in that once I have used an effect, xdp7 adds a load of white space to my image, like thousands of pixels, obviously I customised the size of the image before I began, and when I export the image it reads some of the time as the desired size, and some of the time the much larger size. I've tried cropping but it doesn't make any difference, I've tried changing the image size in the utilities option, but still the image I created is there along with the white space.
So how do I make sure what I save is just what I am creating, and how do I stop this from happening or counteract it. Also why does it do this?
I have Xara Graphics and Photo Designer 6. I've mainly used it for web graphics but now I am doing some print work with it.
I want to set up the page so that it is 300 dpi. Then design the graphic and then export it.
However I am confused on how to do this.
It appears the way Xara is set up you design the graphic and then during export you tell it how many DPI you want it.
The problem is if I select 300 dpi during export, the resulting export is much too big.
I am sure I am doing something wrong. It seems to me there must be a way to set up the page before creating the graphic to 300 dpi (or whatever dpi you plan to export it in... right?)
I assume there's some button combination I'm missing? All I know is I can connect a series of freehand lines no problem, but the straight line tool is not consistent operation with the freehand tool.
I am thinking about buying an M9125 card from the new range of Matrox M series cards.
I have tried without success to find a review of this series and of the card I am interested in particular. Nor can I find any mention of it or its performance in a user forum anywhere. My display is a NEC2690 (26") running at a resolution of 1920x1200. I don't game and just want a new card for PS and Corel Painter work. I have CS3 and will probably move to CS4 idc.
I'm having a lot of glitchy problems with Photoshop CS6. I believe it's because of the graphics card. The image keeps disappearing and reappearing as I make adjustments, the Waccom table controls (for sizing brushes) suddenly stops working. When I touch the Waccom pen to tablet the cursor turns into a spinning tarus. I reboot, and it's OK for a little while, then starts acting up again. I've changed the Graphics Processor Settings from Advanced, to Normal, to Basic. Same problem no matter what.
I'm running on Windows 8. Intel i5 processors. The program is loaded on an SSD drive. The scratch disk is 3 TB so it shouldn't be a memory/space issue. The card driver is up to date.
I'm having problems with printing documents in color using the Corel Draw X6 (Windows 7). My printer is an HP Photosmart 8200 Series and I'm using the most recent driver from HP. I've made sure that the color is turned on (i.e. grayscale is turned off).
When I go the print dialog and the preview I only see black and white (and get no colors when proceeding with printing). For some strange reason I don't get a 'color' tab in the print dialog (where I could check whether grayscale/black&white printing is turned on).
But when I use a different printer driver (e.g. Windows XPS) then suddenly I see the correct preview with color. So somehow this is linked to the HP printer driver.
I want to make a series of numbers around the edge of a medallion. I first make a temporary circle (the size of medallion) then curve my numbers to "fit to path". Then I delete the circle. But when I want to edit (make new numbers) they don't fit to the curve anymore. Is there a better way to do this?
Just wondering what the best way is to set-up my units and scale preferences in 3dsmax. I would like to have my units in mm or cm so that when I import an object with known and precise measurements, it will stay consistent in 3ds max. So that I can visualize the objects in the correct scale and make measurements with the right numbers.
Of course I dont want to mess with results ofmy textures, animation, camera and anything else in 3ds max and would want to have everything behave normally if my units were in cm or mm in stead of the default.

I'm using the bullet list setting. I turned on the bullets for a line of text. I didn't like the default, so I re-set the margin settings on the ruler. Fine, I've got level one to my liking.
Created a second paragraph by splitting the first. This creates a second level one bullet. I then indent again to the second level, and reset the margin settings to my liking. Good for level two.
For the third line I want to go back to level one. So I press enter to create a new paragraph, and then press shift-tab to set the level up one to level one, and the margin settings are all back at the default for level one. They were not remembered by Xara.
So I re-set that paragraph the way I want level one. For level two I create another new paragraph from that paragraph, and the level two is back to the default settings for level two.
Is there any way to create a style that can be recalled, or new default setting for bullets to meet my liking?
AutoCAD to draw various drawings, my issue to set scale.
1. what are the procedures of setting scale in modal space? say if is 1:1 then how to make 1:2 or how to recognize if someone has set a scale say 1:20 in modal space so that you return it to 1:1?....( here i need the procedures)
2. what is different among the following, one using mm, another using cm and the third one using m when drawing in modal space, do these people face different if they decide to use the same scale in layout to print? say if they us 1:50xp, what will happen, in their output.
using the White Balance Tool in Camera RAW.I have sometimes heard that I need to select a naturally white point (as opposed to a specular / highlight point); but I have also heard that I need to select a neutral gray point.
I don't know what happened, but I was making something in photoshop, and all of a sudden, it has all of this white around it. It won't let me crop it, either. . .how do I get rid of it?
I am working on 3d model of interior and I have two problems. I am trying to made similar model as it is on the first image.
After setting all render properties and turning on sky and illuminations my view on object switch from isometric to perspective view.
Is there any way to change it to isometric view so the point of view do not change position at the time of changing, because I find out the way to return it to isometric but then the point of view that was placed inside of room is moved outside and I can't render object that was inside.
Also I can't set white background as it is on the first image. Second image is my attempt that is made inside of the room.
I seem to be having a problem to where there is white space between objects and no matter how many times I intersect paths I still have white-space between objects. Obviously if you are making some sort of illustration, even a pixel worth of white space could prove to be problematic. we are seeing white space between the blue and purple objects.
When I open the map module, I don't see a map. The area where the map should be shown is just white. I reinstalled ALR but that did not work. MacOS 10.8.2 ALR 4.3
im using XXP5, i have an irregular polygon or shape which is the space between a curved shapes outline. within this irregular shape, I want to mould the textso it is stretched / destretched to fill the space yet still be readable.
i have tried to convert the text to shapes and then adjust the nodes, but i dont get any nodes making up each letter(!) the mould tool itself doesnt seem to work. the process first involves stretching the font and rotating it to roughly fit it as close as possible.
i have an image, roughly human shaped, rendered in hundreds of tiny circles. how can i make a separate outline of the whole image, so that i can then fill it with white? i want to be able to put the original image on a black BG but have the empty space between the circles show up as white.
I quit a file opened up a new one and the model space is white. I looked under my preferences to see if the background got changed to white but it is still set on slate. I cannot see anything. When I go to open the file the small preview shows it correctly on a slate background, but then when I open it, I cannot see it. It is all white. I tried shutting down, restart and opening other files.
I'm an amatuer geek trying to do geeking things, like create my own cover design using Paint.net to upload for CreateSpace POD.
I downloaded my correct size template from CreateSpace, opened it with Paint.net, trimmed the excess white (I was told it was okay to do this) and started a bit of the design. Before getting too far in, I decided to take a look at the dimensions on the finished PDF.
I downloaded PrimoPDF and clicked print. With the "fit picture to frame" box checked, the right and left edges are cut off. When I uncheck the box, I get white space at the top and bottom. I'm afraid with the white space at the time and bottom, that will translate to the print book cover.
How to format a cover for CreateSpace using Paint.net and Primo?
We have a drawing and when in Model space you can see different layers that are different colors but when open paper space everything is white? Setting to change this so that everything is by layer in paper space?
