Creating new documents

This opens a blank document ready for you to start a new drawing. Xara LX has two types of document:

image\BULLET.gif drawing documents which are suitable for most types of drawing,

image\BULLET.gif and animation documents which are suitable for created animated GIFs.

image\PRCARROW.gif To create a drawing document:

image\BULLET.gif From the File menu, choose New. (Or choose one of your custom Drawing templates.)

image\PRCARROW.gif To create an animation document:

image\BULLET.gif From the New submenu on the File menu, choose Animation. (Or choose one of your custom Animation templates.)

 Note that this menu item shows a different file name if you have created your own default animation template.

Tip

image\BULLET.gif New documents are based on template documents. The New submenu contains the default templates and any you have created.

image\BULLET.gif You can change the default templates or create your own. See Creating a template document for details.
