While Xara X was always the fastest drawing and illustration program around, it's now even faster. With the third generation Xara rendering engine, the most advanced vector rendering engine on the planet, many drawings are 20% faster and some more than 100% faster.
Xara X¹ offers one the world's first live solid dragging, scaling and rotation of objects, for the ultimate in WYSIWYG, fluid editing. As you reposition, resize or rotate an object the whole object moves, rather than just an outline, making it far easier to judge the effect of your edits in real time.
