Repeating Objects

It's common to have items like navigation buttons, headers or logos repeating on all
pages of your website. Or to have the same logo, header or footer on each page of a
printable document.

Xara Designer Pro X provides the ability to repeat any item in the same place across any
of your pages in a document. When you update one of the copies, Designer Pro
automatically replicates those changes across all pages.
On most of the template designs the main navigation bars are repeating. You can make
any object such as a button a repeating object by right clicking it and choosing
"REPEATING OBJECT" > "REPEAT ON ALL PAGES". The object is copied to the same place on
all pages, displaying the repeating symbol icon in the top right hand corner. If you make
any further changes to this item all the copies will be automatically updated.

Note: This uses the current page as the source of the repeating items to copy across all
the other pages. So make sure you're on the right page before updating objects. The
current page is the one you're working on, and is shown with markers around the page
corners. Just click anywhere on the page (or even outside it) to make the page current.
Or click the page in the Page & Layer Gallery.

object
