Q - When is a Line not a Line? A- When it's an Editable Shape. Ha-ha-ha.

Try bending it.

I did and it does bend. I like the humor though, thanks for that.

I found there is no tangent and quadrant snap

No, this is not a CAD system ... There is only snap or NOT snap.

CAD style snap points are something I've asked for on a number of occasions, but apparently I'm alone in wanting that request.

CorelDRAW has tangent and quadrant snap, those are essential to me.

then it looks like you may need coreldraw... not xara

someone here may know a workaround, but you have already said you find these 'complicated' [everything usually is at first]

What kind of image are you wanting to snap to? That may give us a clue how to help.

This is one of the example I tried, but cannot figure out how to do that in Xara. I save it as CorelDRAW version 11 format.
