    I used Graeme's file and then ended up creating my own way, which is probably as involved as Graeme's but it's all mine and it works. Thanks Graeme!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    It was fun and fast, which is the best kind of challenge!!

    Here's my attempt
    I made a blend around a circle, used the perspective tool then converted to editable shapes. I then selected all the inside nodes and moved them away to the back giving the cone shape

    And the way I made it is weird!

    I will put together a mini-tut, it is such a strange method.

    Don't ask me why it works! I discovered it by accident.

    My final shapes are not exactly like the original shapes used by Xara Ltd., but a little tweaking should come pretty close.
