How to Bend a Collection of Objects

It is in the fountain fill dialogue box, there is a little lock so the 256 steps show grayed out, but if you unlock it, you can change this setting. It also appears on the Property bar when using the Interactive Fill Tool (flyout below the regular fill tool), again, remove the lock and you can edit. Some versions of DRAW only let you edit the steps in the Fountain Fill dialogue box. This box is available from the flyout from the standard toolbar from the Fill Tool, second button from the left or on your F keys, F11.

Impact on DRAW's performance, not much.

Impact in Xara, even less.

That is great Sally. I have never noticed that "unlock" button before.

I always had to convert the document to PDF to get it to print smoothly before! That has saved me a lot of trouble.

Thanks very much,

Andy

You have an option when exporting also to .pdf how many fountain steps you want. The higher the number for print the better. The default is 256, I believe, but I use 800 when it must be smooth.
