The video linked by Albacore illustrates well how to construct the golden spiral, also achievable in Xtreme Pro as demonstrated by Allison. The hints by John is the best way to do it.

The general...

Eureka!! File drag'n'drop on Xtreme title bar works like charm, *.xar file opening included. And faaaast. Thanks a bunch, Steve, for the great tip. I'm without knowledge if the method has been...

Your modesty is becoming, Allison. But surely you have the experienced ability separating communicating art from lesser communicating art. You live and work in one of the most media intensive areas...

Allison, I'm honored and pleased to read and view that you took the trouble to test the templates in one of your graphic productions. Most of the objects lined up, you say.

With your many years...

Preparing your art work composition it is practical to use Golden Section templates, to make you get the feeling of golden proportions. I share my Golden Rectangle and Golden Triangle (pyramidology)...

The ratios of successive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio Ø as n approaches infinity, as first proved by Scottish mathematician Robert Simson in 1753.

Pascal's triangle is a number...

John, I certainly hold it to be true what you say about DNA in relation to Ancient culture.

Even before the beginning of these theories, some other historians and mathematicians have always...

Yes, Burpee, it is indeed. The ratio 1.618:1 has fascinated man in culture a mere 4 000 years. Certainly consciously, but mostly unconsciously.

The ratio of 4:3, that you mention, is the globally...

You mean, Woody, Charles Moir to be a runner up replacing Dan Brown's lead character Robert Langdon in themes of cryptography, keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy theories? Why not.

Cheers,...

Pleasant to read the thread, John, and see your well made graphics. Thanks for showing.

The DNA molecule, the program for all life, is based on the Golden Section. It measures 34 angstroms long...

Charles Moir has published two excellent and instructive web pages, Screen Sizes, showing the common sizes with bewildering screen size acronyms, and Browser Fonts, showing all the body copy 'web...

I read that you have edited and added a "no" in your post, Sledger. Message confirmed.

Stand by, Sledger in Oz, for a private message in the next couple of days.

Cheers, Anders

Question to Sledger.

Would you like to have access to font Apple techno.ttf for Windows and for personal use only? When converted and ready I can make it available for you in a private message.

You are looking for the Mac TrueType font named Techno.ttf. It was included with both Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x, I don't think it's available for PC. Go to a Mac friend of yours and ask for the font...

Aaah...! Thank you for stressing this quality facility! The vital quality to be able to lock an object position and quickly align other objects to the locked object's left, right, top, bottom or...

Instruction available, Ian, in XaraXremePro Help file "Hiding the line in text on a curve"

To hide the line in text on a curve
1. Select the text object on the curve.
2. Choose the Shape...

Off topic: LOL, LOL! Ain't that true about gravity. For men and women alike!

On topic: Me too, I use the contour/outline tool frequently and the mouse to quickly get appearance control.

Nice...

Off topic. Yeah, digitizing has advantages!

On topic. I do actually remember that bug, Waldo, and I was furious about it! Now I don't have to bother about object outline when contouring. We share...

Always a worthwhile, initial step, Waldo. Prevents potential juggling injuries, sort of.

Cheers, Anders

Yep, can do, Steve. It comes down how to handle the layered multiple shapes generated and in an accessible order (my mini-tut steps 10-13).

Cheers, Anders

You certainly did, Bill! No need, however, to convert to editable shapes prior to step join shapes. Methods may vary. Example open outline.

Cheers, Anders

Outline fonts come in several shapes and designs. To preserve and use the original shape of the outline font this is a way it may be done. A bit time consuming but fully achievable.

Are you perhaps referring to Multimedia Builder by Mediachance? I have used it for ages. It's great for CDs, demos and presentations.
