    Default Interlocking Rings - Using Opacity Mask

    Was doing a tech diagram for a client today and had to show overlap in several lines. Then the penny dropped on how to do it with a new feature of Designer 6. The opacity mask of course!

    Hope it helps someone.

    Very clever use of the opacity mask!

    OT: There is a thread in the Xara Art Gallery to say Good bye to Bill and Egg you may want to stop by and wish them well.

    Thanks simple yet effective and it does give a answer to how the new Designer Logo was created!

    That would make a great workbook. Perhaps though you might consider sending Gary a PM with this idea. We may not be seeing much of him on TG for a few days

    Gary's not going anywhere and all the rage about the moderator issue is getting really old real quick. Can we just get back to Xara stuff please.

    I never said Gary was going anywhere. I was under the impression that he was taking a few days away from the forums.

    haha, you beat me to it. I was planning on posting about this tonight and making a video if I get time. I've attached the files I made. OMs are excellent.
