Changing the program's memory requirements

Xara LX uses memory to build up the image on your screen (and when you print and export bitmaps). You can change the amount of memory used if your machine does not have much memory.

To reduce the memory used

1. From the Utilities Menu, choose Options.

2. Click the Tune-ups tab (see Tune-ups Options).

3. Click the Use Limited Memory button.

4. Enter a value into the field on the right.

Tips

This will slow the program down. If you find it very slow, you might want to consider upgrading the memory in your machine.

You can enter values in megabytes, kilobytes or bytes. For example "1M" (1Megabyte), "200K" (200 Kilobytes), "4000" (4000 bytes)

The Automatic option allocates as much memory as possible. (The amount depends on the memory in your computer.) Selecting Automatic always gives the best performance.
