Blend problem

[gnurf]

Ok, I guess I have to blame my memory as usual

Thanks for the help

Stop worrying Paul it's not your memory. Create an Elipse and convert to editable shapes.

Clone and move down the page.

Select the top node of the bottom elipse and blend it to the bottom node of the top elipse.

That's not what Paul wanted to achieve Egg. Have a look at the original post again. Sorry.

Ah yes Keith, your correct

gnurf,
As far as i know that´s not possible to create in just one step.
That´s one of the improvements i would like to see in the blend tool. Illustrator already do this. Basically we would be able to select 2 or more shapes click on a "new blend all button" and Xara will calculate all the intermediate steps between the various shapes.
Maybe someone at Xara take a look at this thread who knows... This shouldn´t be too complicated to implement (i think).

Isn't blending from A to B and B to C to D etc. easy enough.

Hans' solution didn't seem that difficult to me and was exactly what I expected to see. Profiles work perfectly etc.

No, it isn't easy enough when you can do it with one blend

And my memory was only part wrong: the "perspective" blend I remember was done in CorelDraw. I just tested in CD and worked as I expected (and I thought it was logical enough to work in Xtreme as well). Make an ellipse, duplicate and flip the copy, create blend.

As I said, I've used the multi-blend workaround, but in this case the CorelDraw way is easier to use if you are making for example perspectival(sp?) images.
