Spirals in Designer Pro

**csehz** · 04 December 2011, 01:20 PM

Hi, I am searching after how to make spirals in Xara and found this tutorial http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook22/page_1.htm.

But maybe during the years the Xara put spiral making tool into Designer Pro itself? Or maybe there is a best practice for it?

thanks,

If I need spirals or swirls, I use InkScape to make them. Inkscape, which is an OpenSource project, has great tools for such things.

Take care, Mike

check out the xarazone for a program called spxe.exe. it creates sprials that can be brought into xara.

I can recommend SPXE I use it often and you can drag the spirals directly from SPXE into Xara. Here is the link http://www.xaraxone.com/html/shareware.html

I'm with Frances on this one, SPXE works great!
