I've made your latest request into a new thread as it's really a new question. Hope you don't mind.

Greetings! First off, I am relatively new to Xara, well, okay, not all that new as I have had Xara3D since Version 4 but have only done text until now, and I am stumped. I stumbled upon a thread about the coin effect http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=14417

My question is this. I am trying to create the "Coin" type effect (Actually trying to create a logo on a circle/coin effect spin) along with some text that would spin with it or possibly spin in an alternate direction of the logo. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Magoo2,

Welcome to the forum.

I'm having some problems getting a texture on a circle above text and it's way past my bed time. I'll continue to work on it tomorrow evening. If anyone else can provide an answer in the mean time, please do.

Hi Raffy,

I'm working on a solution to your question. A new member, Magoo2 has asked a similar question in the thread http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...119#post158119

So far my attempts aren't getting the texture on the 'coin' above the text correctly.

If anyone else has an answer before I can figure one out, please post.

Are you thinking something like this?

**BroncoFanCam** · 18 May 2006, 02:35 PM

I played with it a little more...

Thanks Bob. I have been swamped here at work lately and I had some hardware problems at home. Lightening fried my last modem and I decided to have DSL installed. Took awhile before they could run the new telephone cables to my house.
