Apply the style of an existing graphic
Sometimes you want to create a graphic that is similar to an existing graphic (either one you created or
one of the samples supplied with Xara 3D Maker.) For example, you might like the look of one of the
samples but are not sure how to create the effect. Xara 3D Maker makes it easy to copy either the
animation options or selected options from another graphic.
Copy the animation options
Use the animation picker (Import animation on the File
menu.)
As you click on file names, the preview shows you how the current graphic looks with the animation
settings of the selected file. When you find the animation effect you want, just click Open
to update the current graphic.
This just changes the animation settings?it does not change options such as wording, bevel, extrusion, and
so on. To copy these, see the following section.
Copy selected options
Use the style picker (Import style on the File
menu.) Like the animation picker, you can browse through files
and see how they affect the current graphic.
Unlike the animation picker, you can select which options to copy from the selected file. You could for
example copy both the lighting and the position (angles) from the selected file. You can copy any
combination of options from the file, including the animation settings.
