Coza, nice screen shots and tutorial, although I don't know why you had to duplicate the circle. I forgot about the kerning option with the shape tool. Does it kern in equal steps? You can also move the shapes from the property bar as well as any distance from the line.

If someone has an explanation for the rotation in the blend I sure would like to know why it does this, and how to correct it or avoid it. I did a blend last week on a straight path and it did the same thing. It was interesting that Xara was able to make the object to curve without the rotation, since I have Xara as well.

BTW, Coza what screen capture did you use? For mine I used Print Screen button and pasted into Corel then exported to .jpg file type. I'm still learning all this computer stuff since I don't do it for a living.
