Hi Joolz,
welcome to the boards - I'm also from an industrial design/CAD background and have been using Xtreme for about 1.5yrs now. Never looked back
There's yet another way to make your invader BTW :
- create a rectangle and change it's size to 1mm x 1mm..
- zoom in so the square (pixel) is a sensible size for working
- press <ctrl-k> to 'clone' the shape leaving it in place over the original.
- press a cursor key to move the 'pixel' to be perfectly alongside in whatever direction.
- repeat until you've made your shape.
- when you're happy with the result, scale the invader to the size you need on the page.
this depends on a setting in 'options'>general>nudge distance that controls how far each press of a cursor key moves your object. This is set to 1mm by default.
