Xara Cool Steel Blade

yes, it creates a bitmap effect but your vector group is still editable as a vector group and as it is a "Live" effect you can resize your drawing to what ever size you like and Xara will reapply the effect so it is an improvement over making a bitmap copy.

That's good that is.
Are we sure were not all professionals on here because some of what I've seen on here couldn't have been done by amateurs.
