Illuminated Glass Sign Xara Xtreme Tutorial

Using the Rectangle Tool (Shift F3) and drawing again from the intersection of the 2 guidelines, draw 2 rectangles to the sizes shown above.

Hold down the Ctrl key and drag a 40 pixel square. Make 3 duplicates of the square (Ctrl d) and place one at each corner as shown.

No Fill - No OutlineDrag a selection marquee (using the Selector Tool - the arrow pointer, drag a rectangle around all of the squares and rectangles, this is the other way to select multiple objects). Set the fill to none by left clicking the small hatched box to the left of the screen palette. From the Width drop down list on the Infobar at the top of the screen, select 4pt.

Make sure the corner squares are aligned as shown above. Then select all the squares and rectangles again and from the Arrange menu, select Convert Line to Shape.

With the rectangle and squares (but not the combined circle and rectangle) selected, Arrange > Combine Shapes > Add Shapes (Ctrl 1).

NOTE: I added an outline to the combined shape so you can see that the rectangles and squares are indeed now one continuous shape.
