Resize the graphic
The easiest way to resize larger graphics is to resize the Xara 3D Maker window by dragging the
corners or sides.
For smaller graphics this can make the Xara 3D Maker window too small and you cannot see all the
buttons. To avoid this, choose Display frame on the Window menu or click the display frame button (
Standard Tool Bar
). This displays the graphic in a smaller frame which you can resize independently of the main Xara 3D
Maker window.
Display frame
The frame
An advantage of the frame is that you can set it to a specific size. Use Frame size on the Window
menu. When you save an X3D file when using the frame, Xara 3D Maker remembers the frame size and
always opens the graphic at that size.
To make the exported image the same size as the frame area, select Current window size and uncheck
Crop in the Export dialog box
.
Alternatively you can fix the graphic size using the font size drop-down list on the text toolbar. Choose
any value except Fit to width
.
