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