That is a neat tool, but other than linking rings - how often would one need to use it? Still - better to have it than not.

I used break at points, from the sphere lines, clone the line segments twice, color fill done.

Doing an exact copy of your bitmap is easier, you only need 3 duplicate rings.

ok, Egg. but 3 +3 = 6
er, but... did you say "exact copy"...? Look at the left side

I like my solution cause it what I used on my telescope. I needed a way to make the rings that go behind the premade parts in Xara3D6. So, breaking at points was the easiest. Once they are pulled together, you can't tell the circle has been broken (prophetical statement.)
Bob, you're right. I don't know now, how often I would use such a tool. But, perhaps we are wrong, like Robert Lloyd:Originally Posted by Bob Hahn

Oh no, no, James. That's too easy...Originally Posted by jamesmc
And it isn't exact the same as in the bitmap.

Remi,
Your correct. Here's my latest ammendment.
As a matter of interest can Real Draw create a '1 under-1 over' rings as the image below and not the '2 under-2 over' rings as per your original image?

Like this?
Real Draw has some cool bitmap effects, and is neat in many ways, but it will never touch Xara for vectors unless they do a *ton* of work to it. It has many small annoyances, one of which I have illustrated.
Real Draw is almost worth its price simply for its HTML slicer tool. It is very, very cool, and can automatically create many types of rollover effects on an area-by-area basis. Much nicer than Xara's, to be honest.

Cheers David,
I was interested to see if it was simple or not and you've proved it is. See what you mean about the bevels.
