Creating new documents

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

drawing documents which are suitable for most types of drawing,

and animation documents which are suitable for created animated GIFs.

To create a drawing document:

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

To create an animation document:

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

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

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