Curve from outside world (Corel Draw)

Curve from outside world (Corel Draw)

Hi Hans,

I seem to remember doing it with .ai but can't remember the particulars on
how it worked or the settings to use in Corel to do it.  I don't have time
to try and figure it out again.  DWG should work for sure to get a curve
from Corel to tS as a curve.

Once in tS you can convert the curve to a path with the Curve to Path tool.

If you already have a path in tS and you want a curve from it you simply
save it to the curve library.

Regards,

Jeff

PS.  You can get a spiral stair case directly from the radial array tool
with no replacement of the path.  With the Radial array tool it takes about
10 seconds to make a spiral stair case.
