Priester - All rights reserved Open the Fill Gallery (Shift F11). From the Stone Textures folder, select Stone 1 and press Fill. Bear with me, this is going to look great. I know what I am doing, (I think). Select the stone filled shape with the Transparency Tool (F6) and from the Transparency Type drop down list, select Brightness. Move the Transparency slider to 95. This adds a very subtle texture. Press Shift Ctrl b or (Arrange > Move Backwards) several times until the textured bitmap is behind the compass shapes and the two lines. Add a background and you are finished. I made two small additions. Can you spot them? And if so, can you figure out how to create them? I also recreated the compass face. I moved all the objects down a bit and recreated the bitmap and the spherical effect. This makes the curve of the tick marks match the bottom shape better.
