I'm currently using the trial version and planning to get Xara Xtreme Pro. I have a few questions.

1: I tried to replicate that in XXPro but the result is not smooth. Pattern along a path is what I'm talking about. Is there a better way to do that in XXPro?

2: If I get XXPro, do i have to worry about Xara3D? Since I'm a person that likes to work with 3d text a lot.

well that's all I'm curious about for now. I might have more questions later as I use the trial.
