But I have other digitizing programs and will use those when they do something better than DS. For instance, I have a design that I created that is a turtle. Each section of the shell has a fill that starts on the outside and spirals in to the center but follows the outline more or less. Then following the same path it spirals outward to the starting point. Sorry, but DS just doesn't do this well at all. But Generations does it perfectly every time- no matter the size or shape of the element. So, in that case, I use Generations. It can get a little confusing switching between programs, so mostly I stick with DS V9. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
