Blend problem

[gnurf]

Either I have a mental block or it might be a bug (or something else)

I try to make a blend like in the attached image for a perspective image but I only seem to get a "straight" blend or a "twisted" one. I've done similar images in previous versions of Xara and haven't had the problem before (as far as I remember which isn't always that far ), but now I don't seem to get it to work no matter what I do (I tried flipping the ellipse and converting to shape etc)

How about using three step blend? Maybe there's better way to do this but i don't know about it

[gnurf]

yes, I have used a two step blend as a workaround, but still I would like to achieve wit a single blend

Hmm - I tried in X1, Xtreme 2 and Xtreme 3 but I cannot get a result without another step.

Here's how I finally chose to do this.

There's another way;

Create three objects
make spaced equaly
select middle object and 2 step blend to top object
select again middle object and blend to bottom object
You can go on and on(if you want to)

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).
