My suggestion: make an artistic media brush:
Here is what I`m trying to do , I made the sprayer from this and also a brush in the Artistic Media when I try and write or follow a path like a Heart Shape , looks like Spagetti, sorry to be such a pain
Roknroot said:Wow this work is way out of my artistic hand, checked out your Gallery, I`ll never attempt to draw again.... unbelievable!
Thanks for nice words. But if I can do it, you can too!
Roknroot said:are these brushes available somewhere?
No, but you can make some for yourself with relative ease. Go for it!
Well still have the distortion problem with any brush or spayer I make, I even tried to make the flames from your gif file it all looks good until I drag it, it gets thin and stretches, does not keep it1s original shape, Your FIle you sent showing how does not show what buttons your clicking on I`ve clicked on everything. My next question , is there a tutorial available ?? name your price, or can you point me in the right direction, I really have to learn this.. LOL

I'm not Jeff, but I believe I designed that barbed wire you showed in a previous post. I was able to make these barbed wire brushstrokes by using that Object Sprayer I posted on my gallery page (http://community.coreldraw.com/media/p/53675.aspx). Is that where you found it?
I'll post some quick instructions later, if this is what you are looking for. No time right now.

yes, that is it, I googled it and that came up several pages donw as a picture, I then tried to do a trace on a piece of it and it has been a nightmare ever since . I do thank you for taking the time to help out, I`m still confused use a brush or a sprayer

Meanwhile, read over the help files/ manual on Artistic Media. Also this article may help you understand the Artistic Media better.
Steve Bain's tutorial on the Object Sprayer
When you've done that, download the free object sprayer here: I just updated it today so that it will work in both X3 and X4. Place it in the following folder (or the equivalent folder for X3):
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4\User Draw\CustomMediaStrokes
