4 Click the third handle from top to bottom, and drag it
to the left and slightly downwards. You’ll get a shape
similar to the one shown in Fig 3.

Fig 3 8 With the object still selected, click it to change the size
handles to rotation handles. Hold down ‘Ctrl’, and drag
the object centre, which is also the center of rotation,
to the bottom of the object as shown in Fig 7.

5 Select the object by using the Pick tool , and drag the
middle left handle to the right while holding down ‘Ctrl’
to create a perfectly mirrored object. Before releasing
the left mouse button, right-click once to create a
mirror duplicate (Fig 4).
9 Holding down ‘Ctrl’ to constrain the angle of rotation,
Fig 4
start to rotate the object by any degree divisible by
5 as shown in Fig 8. Before releasing the left mouse
button, right-click once to create a duplicate. Press
‘Ctrl+R’ repeatedly to create rotated duplicates until
the circle is complete (Fig 9).

6 Select both objects, and click Arrange > Combine (or
press Ctrl+L). With the combined object still selected,
click the Shape tool (F10). Marquee select the two
top nodes, and click the Join two nodes button on
the property bar (the highlighted button in Figure 5).
Next, marquee select and join the bottom nodes of
the object. (Fig 5)

7 Now, we have a single closed object. Fill this object
with any color from the color palette. The final object
must look like the object in Fig 6. If the object is not
filled with color, then something went wrong while you
were joining the nodes or combining the objects. You
may need to revisit Step 6.
