:) Thank everyone so much for all the quick replies and instructions. I have never been on a list where I got such quick responds. It is awesome.
I am learning a lot today and you guys are helping me greatly.
Now I want to know how to take a circle and divide it like cutting a pie
into 12 equal parts then drawing more divisions in this part and multiplying
it to make parts to put the 'pie' back together to make a rosette.
How do I cut a circle to use just a part of it? I am really feeling like a
dummy today but am determine to conquer this program no matter what. :eek:

Faye,
To start with draw your elipse, then draw a straight line through it making sure it is centered over the elipse. Then clone the line and rotate the clone 30 degrees. Clone the clone and rotate 30 degrees and so on until you've created the lines for twelve slices.
Group all the lines, but not the elipse, convert the lines into a shape, then selecting the lines and the elipse, do a "ctrl, 2" to slice the elipse. After slicing it you will need to break shapes to separate them.

Almost the same process that Ron has posted for you, only a little different. Try both ways and you will probably learn your own way that you prefer.

I know that you could just go to stage 3 to align in the above example but it's handy if your circle is part of an overall drawing where you don't wish the circle to change position.
Re: Drawing Rosette Patterns
Thanks guys for the lessons on the pie. I have tried it over and over
and each time I am not getting the right degree and the shapes come
out slightly off the 30-60-90 degrees. I tried cloneing one 12 times and
putting them together again but there was about a half of one to much and
they would not go together again. I don't know what is the matter...
maybe my settings are wrong. Maybe it is the program. I hate to think
I won't be able to do what I wanted so much for this program to do
because I can't afford to buy another one.:(
Again thanks a bunch...

Re: Drawing Rosette Patterns
Ummm Maybe you are using Cntrl-c to copy, which moves the created object away from the original. Try cntrl-K which clones the object directly on top of the other object.:)
Re: Drawing Rosette Patterns
Hi again faeb, the program will do exactly what you want. It's a matter of learning how to do it. We can't see where you're going wrong so could you attach a .xar file so we can look at it?
Re: Drawing Rosette Patterns
Ok... it would be great if you can figure out what I am doing wrong.
I am going to try to attach my project to this.[IMG]C:\Documents and Settings\faeb\My Documents/project.xar[/IMG]

OOOPs.. didn't work so am trying again.I may need help on sending the file.http://C:\Documents and Settings\fae...op/project.xar
