    Default Square end cap for line?

    I'm racking my brain and I don't think I've ever wanted it before in Xara, but right now I do...

    I'll apologize for making software comparisons, but it's best I can do to explain my question:

    In Inkscape, there's a menu where you can not only pick arrows and dots and other things for line endcaps, but you can also change the default 'round' line ends to square terminals. I cannot seem to find this option in Xara, but I'm probably just blind! Can anyone help?

    Open the line gallery. Make your choice.

    You want to select Butt Cap (terrible name if you ask me). There are three options. The default is Round.

    Butt Cap ends at the control point. Square Cap extends beyond the control point half the width of the line.

    Thanks for the pics. I knew i was probably somehow overlooking something. My eyes kept immediately going to the folders instead of looking at the pulldowns. lol Thanks!
