One little bit more of pre-planning. Things are about to get messy and so we will use the Layer Gallery to organize things. Open the Layer Gallery (F10). Press New... Name this new layer 5 Circles and press OK. With Layer 5 selected (the title bar will be highlighted in the Layer Gallery) select all five circles and Cut them (Ctrl x) to the clipboard. Paste them onto the 5 Circles layer using Edit > Paste in Front (new in Extreme) or press Shift Ctrl v.
Create a new Layer, name it 3 Circles, and press OK. Copy (Ctrl c) the three middle circles (shown in red), select the title bar for the 3 Circles layer and Edit > Paste In Place or Shift Ctrl v.
Select the 5 Circles layer. Uncheck the 3 Circles Make Layer Editable box (the check box under the arrow icon). The disables editing on this layer. Save your drawing before the next step. Open the Line Gallery (F12). Set the outline Width to 48pt. It is important to do this first. Otherwise you will be applying a very complex brush shape to a .5pt outline which may very well cause Xara to crash and you will loose your drawing. This is also why I said to save your drawing, just in case. With all 5 circles selected, open the New Brush Strokes folder. Select the Pine Branches brush, make sure the Width is set to 48pt, hold your breath, cross your fingers, and press Apply.
