To create a blend with the Blend Tool:
1. Select the Blend Tool button on the Drawing toolbar.
2. (Optional) From the displayed Context toolbar, choose:
• the number of “morph” Blend Steps to be taken between both
points.
• a Position or Attribute Profile for non-uniform blends. (See
DrawPlus help).
• a Colour blend type which defines how colour distribution occurs
between the originating and destination object. You can Fade
between colours by default, apply a Clockwise/Anti Clockwise
colour spread around the HSL Colour Wheel (from the Colour
tab), or use the Shortest or Longest route between colours on the
HSL Colour Wheel.
3. Hover over the object to display the Blend cursor.
If blending to multiple objects, remember to group them in
advance.
4. Click and drag the cursor, drawing a dashed line as you go, to your
destination point (this must be on an object) and release. Your blend is
created.
5. (Optional) Click the
Convert Blend Object into a Group Object
button on the context toolbar to group all blended objects.
