Customizing Designer Pro 631

Coordinate Direction
Here you can change the direction of page coordinates so that, for example, Y values
increase as you go down the page. This is useful when you want the 0,0 point to be the
top left corner and increase down the page like it does for HTML.

Internet Cache
When Xara Designer Pro X downloads gallery items from the Internet, it stores them in a
reserved area of disk memory called a "cache". When Xara Designer Pro X uses these
items in the future, it can load them directly from the cache, which is much more efficient
than downloading over the Internet.

CACHE USAGE indicates the amount of cache space currently in use. This gives an idea
as to whether the cache size is correct. That is, if cache usage is consistently nearing
100% the cache size should be increased if possible. A larger cache size does not affect
the program adversely or take up unnecessary space on the drive. We recommend a
cache size of 15 - 20 MB. The minimum cache size is 500KB, the maximum is the free
space on the drive when the size is set. Anything outside these limits generates an error.
You can type in byte values directly (800000). For kilobytes or megabytes, follow the
value with K or M (500K or 8M).
