Hi, The commands in xcrysden are basic. For cases with spin-orbit coupling, one simplest way to get around is to fool the xcrysden by copying case,outputso to case.output1 and proceeding to plot the Fermi surface (that is, forgetting the steps like x lapw1 -c - up etc.).
An alternative is to modify the xcrysden source file to have correct options for running the cases with spin-orbit coupling. However, I am afraid it is too much. Peter, please correct me if necessary.
