    Thanks Egg.

    Silly me for not rearranging the overlapping faces of the last three cubes.

    It is hard as in yours the faces are slightly out and the central hexa-star gap is not balanced.

    Thanks for having a go.

    I will look on it as an apprentice piece.

    The first clipart is 90o rotated to mine, so completely different.

    I've taken the second, one of Egg's I think, and turned it into an SVG.
    This is what Xara should be doing with grouped shapes and not making them images!

    SVG of ACORNdotXAR.xar
    Technically, there is no image (check the Bitmap Gallery).
    It is a Placeholder with code linking into to an embedded SVG file (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+A), sitting in the Name Gallery.
    It seems to render to a 5kB image but this is all SVG code.
    When it scales, there are no jaggies.

    sorry but if I choose to lie down at 90 degrees I am still me... you will have to do better than that

    indeed

    so does that mean it is a vector clipart or not ? - i just threw it in because it resembles your avatar, no really serious
