I am looking for transform tool that I use quite a lot in CorelDraw, I use it to make copy of objects with angle, like minute marker on watch face. What is the equivalent tool in Xara? I read the manual but cannot find it.

Set up your minute marker at 12 o'clock.Quote:

Group.
Clone and rotate 60.
Repeat another 29 times.
Ungroup all or Group.
Create a 60-point star.
Rotate 30.
There will be other methods.

Xara does not have this. I think what you are looking for is a repeat last step command, Ctrl R I think it was. So if you rotated a tick mark 2 degrees you can press Ctrl R and it will continue to repeat the last action. Is this correct?
We have asked for this since I switched from CorelDRAW. But no luck.
Create a Scatter Brush of a minute shape and apply the Brush to a Circle.
Adjust the Line width or Edit Brush > Spacing to fit.
Convert Line to Shapes and Ungroup.

Thanks. I think the transform tool is a must, even Inkscape has similar tool long time ago.Quote:

I was just showing how creative you can be within the Xara Desktop.
These questions always spark interest, solution and discussion, all of which I am looking forward to.
