Uh-oh… I know I'm late to the party, I didn't see this posting here. The last years it always has been in the tutorials section of the forum. Anyway, my best wishes to all are still true… a Happy New Year to you all

Ahhh Bernd....
I thought we were gonna go without the cone folk this year! Sir, if you only knew how Paul Helm in Tech Support looked forward to these every year. He enjoyed them every year.  I do so as well! Bravo Bernd! Now the Holidays are complete!

I was saddened because I thought we weren’t going to see one this year and was happily surprised Christmas morning. Cheers and Merry Christmas Bernd!

OK, for now I've decided that using a bezier spline instead of the ellipse might be the easiest solution to the problem. While you cannot use snaps to the first spline while drawing the second one, it's totally fine (in this context) to simply snap to the object edges and midpoints. This will at least give usable results for the further progress of the tutorial.

Comes close to the desired look as shown in my first screenshots at the beginning of this thread.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all 🙂

For the statistics: in 2017 it has been exactly 20 years that I've been making these annual cards with FormZ. Never change a working system
