Spaghetti tool
Very adequate use of the tool. Great work
How did you create the barbed wire?
Filip, a year ago
Brilliant idea!
Question is: which font and which letter?
I could not find a suitable font, so I created a vector shape in Bixelangelo with 3 points and used the MEDIA > CHANGE GLYPH... dialog to replace every X by this shape.

i use Font creator when i need special characters font. For example here i use the folowing shape to create the character (straight bevel 2 | 2.5 | 0)
.
Michiel, I think your shape is better (mine is a little too thin).
I suppose there is a font with symbols which could work fine but difficult to find the right font among the hundreds of thousands existing.
I never think about "CHANGE GLYPH" it's true that it works too and no need to create a font

Instead of attaching a text layer and using the MEDIA > CHANGE GLYPH... dialog, you could also attach a vector layer. Set the number of shapes with the CHARACTERS prop. Other important props are SPACING and TEXT ROTATION. And set the sketch layer to ATTACHED LAYERS FOLLOW SKETCH (2nd dropdown).
It's technically possible to create realistic barbed wire with only sketch layers. That would be a nice new export option!

Found 3 fonts to create a simple barbed wire.
Choose the sketch file, settings "CIRCLE and
and ATTACHED LAYERS FOLLOW SKETCH"
repeat the letter x and use spacing. Use one of the Fonts in the picture and set it to INFLATED

I read your comments and that of Michiel. With the help of your information and a few "pointy Fonts" it was simple. Couldn't do it without your and Michiels info.
