hi mike on the sample u shown me what shape did u use ? ive tried looking in Aa but cant find it.emma

I'm not sure what you mean. The only shapes I used on the sample were the squares in Wingdings, which is the shape you get by typing "n" in that font.

Hi, Emma, do you mean the image? That is a representation of an astrolabe I did in Xara3d and XaraXtreme some years ago.

If that isn't what you are after, then I'm still not sure what mean.

hi mike sorry my mistake ur sample is square.and there is a different 1 ive seen but not sure if its done by 1 or 2 softwares emma

OK, I see what you mean. That is a rounded square. I don't think Wingdings has one. You would get that from another application. Did you not say you had XaraXtreme? It has a tool called Quickshapes that lets you create shapes with any number of sides. You can select how many sides the shape has and whether it is stellated (star-shaped), and whether the corners are rounded or not. The great thing with XaraXtreme is that you can select any shape you made in it, and copy it to the clipboard with Ctrl-C, and then in Xara3D, paste it in as a shape with Ctrl-V.

To get the shape in that image, use 4 sides, and click the rounded corner button. Then just drag the mouse across the screen and see the shape being created. If you place the mouse pointer onto any of the control points near the corners you candrag the point nearer or further from the corner to change the radius of the curve.
Once you are happy with it, select the square and hit Ctrl-C as I described earlier, and paste it into Xara3d.
