Blend Tool - Steps Field

The Steps field on the Blend Tool Infobar controls the number of intermediate steps used in the currently selected blend. You can either:

specify the number of steps

or specify the average distance between steps (see Notes).

To change the number or distance between steps, select one of the two options then enter a new value and press RETURN. For more information, see Changing the number of steps in a blend.

Notes on distance:

The Distance option is dimmed except for a blend along a curve.

If the end object is not on an exact multiple of the distance, Xara LX moves the end object. (For example, if the distance between the start and end objects is 1 inch and you enter a distance of 0.3 inches, Xara LX moves the end object to 0.9 inches from the start object [3x0.3 inches].)

The distance between steps varies if you use a non-linear Position Profile. The value shown is the average distance.
