Thanks for the posts yet again, it definentally helps us all get out of that mode! My inspirations have come back again, so hopefully I'll have more for you soon. Have a good day

Tried your Mini-tut Steve, thanks for making it. My post below is not nearly as slick as your flag but I think I grasp the concept! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I did run into some "issues" with the Mold tool and posted the problem as I saw it in the Xara Forum along with some examples.

Nice flags, but a strange method of attachment!

Most flags have a hemmed channel with a sewn-in bolt-rope, with a toggle at the top and a loop at the bottom to fasten to the halyard.

Oh really? That is the right way to do it, I think! But I thought this way was done also. To be honest I used Gary's as a kinda reassuring guide because I thought it was that way also! Oh well, I think all the flags look good no matter how they're hung! There's more than one way to skin a cat

This may be the nauticl method. Steve's rendition is correct for all US Flags that I have ever seen. I have 2 coffin flags (over 12ft long) and a smaller one for flying and they both have the eyelets at the corners as Steve has depicted.

Great Work, Steve. I just returned from three-weeks away - two on the West Coast. Flew into Seattle the night of the 10th. Those NY images were very oppressive. The flag is a good way to get back on track. I checked in on Xara once. Nice to know the graphics world is going on. Neil
