Both can convert flat shapes into 3D, but DrawPlus let us edit the 3D object's facade without having to turn the 3D effect off and on again. Both programs can blend two objects, creating a series of replicas that morph from one to the other, but DrawPlus can plot them along a curved path.
Its QuickShapes tool generates squares, spirals and clock faces, with simple controls for actions such as turning a circle into a pie chart slice. The two packages' vector graphics features are uncannily similar, but most of the differences lie in DrawPlus's favour. It's been a few years since we last reviewed DrawPlus, so rather than focusing on the new features, let's see how DrawPlus X5 stacks up against Xara's software. If this sounds familiar, that's because Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 pulls off exactly the same trick, with vector drawing and lots more besides wrapped up in a fast, friendly interface, all for £57 including VAT. However, we're pleasantly surprised not just by the quality of the results but also by how easy it is to get to grips with the interface. With so much crammed into a sub-£100 program, it might seem optimistic to expect the highest levels of sophistication. The ability to isolate parts of a photo is extremely useful for graphic design and DTP projects
