    My big article on Xara X -- which I wrote for c't, Germany's leading computer magazine -- is now available for online reading in English at

    www.KlausNordby.com/xara

    It demonstrates step-by-step how I created my "Microscope" illustration. This is the original English manuscript the Germans used for their translation. My buddy Jens Benthien claims that my unofficial, largely unedited original made for a better read than the Germans' published version - go figure that . . .

    This article has helped me to understand Xara X all the better, I am still feeling my way around it's learning curve but your article has helped me much further along. It is well written and very informative.

    Well down. YOu do the XaraXian race proud [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    I've got to ask - as I've asked others before. As it reads it sounds like you were drawing from your head. Did you have a photo of a scope on a bottom layer? or did you just go create?

    JUst looking a fig 6 - did you darw this manually to illustrate layers? Or can you show all layers on a different window?

    If you click on fig6 it does not expand by the way.

    Turzan, my initital reference was the old air-brushed book cover, also found on that page. It was on a bottom layer for a little while, then I removed it and did 95% of the work off the top of my head.

    The fig6 link is now working.
