Xara Xone Pool Ball step-by-step tutorial

Hold down the Shift key and select the rectangle, then select the circle beneath it (this is one method to select multiple objects). From the Arrange pull down menu, select Combine Shapes... and from the flyout menu, select Slice (cut) Shapes. This makes two shapes: the joined top and bottom of the circle, and the center section.

Create and center an 80 pixel circle over the sliced rectangle and circle.

Click the Text Tool on the page and key in the number 1. Highlight the number by dragging the Text Tool across the number, and change the size to 48pt selecting from the Size drop down list on the Infobar. Select a sans serif font such as Swiss 921 or something similar. Create a number 9 the same size and style. Center each number inside the circles as shown here. These will be the prototypes for the solid and striped pool balls.
