Using the Rectangle Tool, create a 100 x 100 pixel square. Make a duplicate and align one to the left of the checkered panel and align the other to the right.

Select the Blend Tool (shown) and drag from the first square to the last. Change the number of Blend Steps on the Infobar to 6. With the Blend selected, select Convert to Editable Shapes (Arrange menu). Ungroup the squares (Ctrl-U).

Follow the instructions on the right.

NOTE: Blends in Xara remain "live" meaning that you can edit a blend at any time (when the Blend Tool and the blend are selected). Even if you save the file and open it tomorrow, or in six months, you wil still be able to edit the Blend. Converting to Editable Shapes and Ungrouping releases the objects from the Blend.
