Save Template Dialog box

Most of the options in this dialog box are standard to Windows Save dialog boxes.

The folder you select in this dialog box is where Xara LX looks for templates. If you select a different folder, Xara LX will not see any templates stored in the old folder. For this reason we suggest always using the default folder.

Note that you can have a maximum of 12 template documents.

Save as Type

Xara LX Template is the only option. To save your drawing in other formats use Save As or Export.

Show preview bitmap

Select this option to preview files as you click their name.

Use as default template

Xara LX has two default templates: one for normal drawings and the second for animated GIFs and Internet graphics. Select this option to make this document either the normal drawing default or the animated GIF default (depending on which template you originally used for this document). See Creating new documents for details of opening drawing and animated documents.

The benefit of selecting default templates is that you will then be able to press Ctrl-N to create a new document based upon the drawing default, and Ctrl-Shift-N for a new document based upon the animation default.
