Help with an old tut problem

I did this tut a few years ago and decided to do it again and make some of my own changes, since I do know a little bit more about Xara now.
There is a step in the tut where you convert to editable shapes/convert lines to shape/arrange:ungroup.

We had a discussion about why this doesn't work last time and I can't remember what the solution was. Trouble is, ungroup is greyed out and can't be applied if you follow the tut.

Could I get some help with this?
Thanks,

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem. Could not ungroup.

The steps in the instructions say:
With the blend selected, Arrange > Convert to Editable Shapes, then Arrange > Convert Line to Shape and finally, Arrange > Ungroup.

I think it should be:
With the blend selected, Arrange > Convert to Editable Shapes, then Arrange > Ungroup and finally, Arrange > Convert Line to Shape.

Thanks Rik. Makes sense to me.

Yes! Thank you. I will keep this info in case I need it again.

Thanks Rik. I find that solution has always worked for me. Sometimes it seems like I sometimes have to add shapes in order to un-group and maybe un-group twice.
