    Default Making Smartshapes

    If I wanted to make my own smart shape, how would I go about it?

    For Example
    Make my own line brush and head brush for consistant line with a shape or group on the end of it that maintains size/aspect/direction with the line itself?

    or

    Make my own smart shape group with some shapes locked in size, others that will stretch, similar to the cylinder smart shape in the gallery.

    Merlinski, the short answer is you cannot.
    If you examine the Xara installation, you will find JavaScript modules that are in support of the supplied SmartShapes.

    Xara promised years ago to supply the framework to allow SS creation; it is clearly too difficult or not worth its time to make the schema available.
