March 2006 Xara Xtreme Tutorial

You can copy some live effects, such as Chrome (possibly all, I have not tried this yet) and Paste Attributes onto another object such as our spherical shape . But I know if I asked you to do this for all 100 shapes, I would never hear the end of it. (One Zen meditation exercise per tutorial is enough). So a brilliant idea struck me. OK actually I bumped my head on the door frame and pretended it was a thought striking! Why not see if I can select all the yellow shapes at one time using the Name Gallery. And it worked!

Select the top triangle, the one with the Blue Sky effect. Copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl c). Open the Name Gallery (click the yellow tag icon on the Infobar). Scroll down to the Used Colors section (shown above) and click the open circle next to the color Yellow. This select all of the yellow shapes with one click (clever, no?)

From the Edit menu, select Paste Attributes or press Shift Ctrl a. Is that cool or what?

Copy the next triangle to the Clipboard. Select the corresponding color in the Name Gallery and Paste Attributes. Repeat this step for the other two colors.

The Name Gallery just saved us 96 steps.
