    Default Blends on a path

    This subject has cropped up in this thread in the CorelDraw forum, I cannot resolve it there, nor it seems, can I obtain the required result using Xtreme.
    Any bright spark able to supply solutions for one or both programs?
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Hi Bob,

    A slight adjustment to the Blend's Attribute Profile and a little rotation of the bottom most 'arrow' to align it with the arc.

    Bob,

    Here's a solution (I hope) for Xara Xtreme. I achieved this result by combining the 'Blend Along A Curve' option with the 'Rotate Along Curve' button also activated.

    IHTH,

    Morning Bob

    Try ctrl with the select tool and select just the bottom triangle, and then rotate it to align with the line, as you might say...........frank

    Wholly Jeeze, everybody is awake at this hour and beat me to it while I was verifying that it would work. Bill, Harry......go back to bed and let me have a chance

    Thanks, everyone, I was working on it again, too. By having the arrowheads both pointing in the same direction, it worked. But it doesn't do the trick in CorelDraw, though.

    Thanks Jim, I've tried rotating the start and end nodes, but the arrowheads still won't stay the same size. God I hate CorelDraw.
    Saludos,
