Helle - My point is that Illustrator can do what you want and Xara cannot. So make the brush as you want it in Illustrator.

And I cannot tell you how many times I have had to rebuild my custom toolbar. I have been using Xara since 1996 and it has been at least two or three times a year. Or more depending on the number of updates.

I am going to move this topic to Dear Xara as a feature request. There will still be a link to the topic from this forum.
