Hi Larry, I didn't do the bauble shapes, they where in a xar file posted by Acorn. However they are fairly simple to make using the mould tool, in particular the Circular Envelope mould.
Hope you can make sense of this (Sorry missed out the Xara window tool sets) :

After using a Mould, press Ctrl+1+U, to Add Shapes and Ungroup, all in one go, resulting an a Shape that is rendered as an SVG object.
Does the same with a Contour or Bevel or Spiral.
A Blend needs Ctrl+1+U+U. Same with Text Inside but you end up with the Shape duplicated in the text's colour.
A Extrusion becomes a Bitmap after you use Ctrl+1.
If you have a complex repeat of a pattern, like a bauble, than breaking the Mould and intersecting All Shapes when selecting with a Clone or another under-shape separates out the Shape into all its sub-parts. Very cleanly and very quickly and most beneficial now SVGs are the output.
The other benefit is no message about destroying a SmartShape. It is a Bug, I sure, that Ctrl+1 immediately deletes a SmartTable.

Thank you, Egg your demo was most helpful and reinforced what I thought, but took it a step further.
Thank you Acorn for providing the baubles.

Thanks for the clarification Acorn. I didn't ask the question without further searching. Xara's new online Keyboard Shortcut has no mention of these shortcuts. EggAfter using a Mould, press Ctrl+1+U, to Add Shapes and Ungroup, all in one go, resulting an a Shape that is rendered as an SVG object.

Egg, Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+U are both in https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara..._keyboard.html .
When you press Ctrl+1+U, this is just completing the second action without releasing the control key.
The repeats are just unpacking levels of Grouping.
