Here are some screen captures of the process in Xara 3D-6 with brief captions.

With the line spacing set to 60%, you can see the individual parts.
They are automatically centred on each line
 

Show or Hide Cursor

Click the cursor button, and hit up-arrow, then hold down Shift,
and hit left-arrow, to select the base plate. (Center)
 

This is the texture setting on the base plate
 

This is the texture setting on the ring
 

This is the bevel used for the base plate
 

This is the bevel used for the ring
 

Click on the Cursor button, then hit <Return> for a new line.
Importing or pasting a new object will appear at the cursor. If an existing object is already selected, it will be replaced.
 

With 30% line spacing, you can clearly see the three elements.
 

At 15% line spacing the objects are getting closer to one another

And at 0% line spacing, the 3 elements are perfectly aligned.

And those are the basic steps. I hope this will inspire you to see how far you can push Xara 3D-6.
