How do I interpolate objects? (Workaround to Blend tool)

[Fran Velasco]

Hi,

From time to time I download a trial to see if I can jump wagon and start using Designer full time, but the blend tool is not available and looks like it will be a long time before it happens.

So I have a question: How do I interpolate objects without that tool? Is it possible to create anything like this?

I do a lot of geometric illustrations and I need to do this kind of stuff but I don't know how to achieve it with the available tools. Any clue?

Thanks!!

Have you tried Power Duplicate? (If not, check out how it works in the help file.)

Power Duplicate is a poor substitute because it's not live, hence not editable. If you don't get it right first time, you have to do it again and and again and again and again and and again and again and again and and again and again and again and and again and again and again and and again and again and again and and again and again and again and and again and again and again, until it's right.

Fran, we all feel your pain and have been wondering where the blend/interpolate feature is since it's been aound for about 30 years in discontinued applications and even in modern day open source applications. You'd think the developers could just copy-n-paste the code from the open source stuff.

Apparently not...
