How to do a 'Design Patent' drawing in Xara - any advice?

I could be wrong but I suspect there is all the information you need at the US Patent Office website.

Stipple, as for a fill? If so you can look for black and white textures in stock image resources. I licensed a whole collection from Shutterstock.com after I did a search for black and white tiling patterns. You can set the bitmap to Repeating Tiling, then copy the pattern. Select the object you want to fill and Edit > Paste > Paste Attributes. The size and rotation of the fill can be edited with the Fill Tool.

Xara has Line Stroke Shapes and Pressure Profiles. These can be used to create uneven lines. The options are very limited but it can be done.
