    Hi Bob,

    The Two Color Patterns are the same fills (difference between the British and the Yank versions ). The files should be in the bandw folder.

    Hmmm.....I just checked and in the bandw folder I see .gif files that contain the patterns. In the XaraInfo folder I see the .png files that show up in the Fills Gallery as the examples.

    going thru xara i see NOTHING in the folders (maybe because i already have them installed in the prg??????)

    Please take a look on your Xara Xtreme CD. There is a folder called "Fills" with the .gif and .png files and some Index .txt-files under Fills\Xarainfo.

    Look at the directory at your CD and on your installation directory (C:\Program files\Xara\Xara Xtreme\Fills). If there are no content in the directory "Fills\bandw", then copy the content from your CD to your local installation directory together with "Fills\Xarainfo\bandw.txt". The last one is a Index file to inform Xara Xtreme, which Content lays under "\Fills\bandw\".

    After a restart, the new Fills should be available.

    Regards,
    Remi

    I used to do a lot of crosshatching when I was doing technical illustration. We used to do a lot of shading line illustrating.

    This is a bit more than I would have done with pen and ink or brush and ink as it frequently was and lots of whiteout when you sneezed.

    Good use of the blend tool, the italic brushes, clipmask and duplicate with mirroring. It looks hard, really isn't.

    Just stumbled upon this thread, and was going to ask, is there a way to fill things with VECTOR based hatch fills, for example like shown here:

    Thanks

    The only want I can think to do this with a vector pattern is to make your pattern large enough to fill whatever shape you will need then use Apply Clipview to mask your pattern inside a shape.

    But if you can work with a bitmap, then make your tiling image high dpi resolution so you can adjust the size of the pattern and still maintain the quality of the fill.
