Any tips for making cogs?

Still being discouraged, I tried something else.

I thought I would add that spinning animation to a "period" (".").

And even it seems to wobble. It isn't as much as the cogs, but it does still do it.

I wonder if it isn't just an optical illusion.

I attach a xar file with 2 shapes. Just select each one in turn, copy & paste in Xara3D. There's a definite wooble in your ani but I donk know whats creating it.

Sorry I don't use Xtreme

Bronco,

You don't need to use Xtreme to use the shapes that Egg posted. Simply import the shapes into Xara3D.

When I imported that file, it came up as a rectangle.

Sorry Bronco.

I just tried it and it did only import a square. I don't know why this is, but I used your original file and deleted your work after constructing mine, then Saved As. Perhaps it had some residue of the wmf in it. However I attach 2 new xar files, which should import into Xara3D okay. (They did on my machine anyway)

I should mention that the animation attached, whilst using these 2 xar shapes, has an italic applied for fun. Now in Startrek Scotty's best accent '"She wonna tak much mooor Cap'n!"

Hahaha! How funny!

Something wierd...

I downloaded Xtreme yesterday, and having only used it for the first time just now, I imported mt WMF, then exported the image as a ".web".

Imported it into X3D and wahlah! No wobble!

Very strange, I did not edit it in the slightest, I don't know why it suddenly decided to work.
