    video Creating an Angled Shape in Xara P&GD

    On another thread a member asked how to create an angled object in Xara P&GD.
    (cant find it on the forums so posted it here, mods you can move it if you want)

    I created this video to help others achieve this using Xara P&GD. The video is here
    and the .xar file you need is attached.

    Please note this video shows how to create an angle based object for visual presentation, any object created with this method should not be used in manufacturers drawings where precision is paramount.

    Sorry about sound quality.

    AAARRGH! - typical, now found the thread where this was mentioned, arc being the key word to search for http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...Arc&highlight=
    Visit it for alternative ways to achieve an 'Arc' with precision.

    sorry Citywolf.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Very nice technique! I still wish that Xara/Magix would add a new vector tool or quick shape for this though. Seems like a pretty basic drawing element these days...
