Not sure if you wanted to try a different method but this should get you the results you're looking for.
I just created a simple rope length design and saved it as a brush (see pic). Make sure the ends of it are straight vertically or it won't close properly when added to your shape.
Then draw your ellipse, add the custom rope brush and adjust the stroke width to your liking.

Not much help!
You didnt help him much with his question. You only suggested another program. Those who use a great program for years dont want to be told to switch, or suggest that! Corel is a great program. Flexi is a great program, and yes their tech support is awesome! SignLab by Cadlink is a Super program combining both Vector AND Bitmap capabilities at 1/3 the cost of Flexi. So as there are several great choices for us out there, you have to make the decision to switch, or as I have done is work with all 3! They each have there unique advantages. I will say that Signlab is SO MUCH EASIER to master than Flexi.. Great tech support for both...

Have you downloaded all the Updates? You should be at Ver 17.6.0.1021

Believe it or not, I do similar to what Old Paint does. I make a shape and then copy and past it. I either move it with my mouse or I hold the Ctrl key when rotating it to manually control the degree of the rotation. It's tedious, but it's the only way I know.
I am on X5, and my issues are mainly it takes forever to load. It is frigging MILES ahead of Omega. I only use that when I want to fit text to a path effectively, and to transfer old Gerber files into Corel.
Do you have a "lock" button set somewhere in your toolbar? (the little lock icon by where you size whatever)
Love....Jill

Dammit, make it faster!!
I wouldn't install the latest update. Too many problems from What I can get from all the chatter. Stay at 17.5.0.907
