I think I understand what Your saying. Just wanted to know if that was normal behavior for the program, a bug, or something I was doing wrong. Thanks for taking the time to answer, and help me figure it out.

Maybe it will help to visualize what I'm making. These are parts to a small jewelry box/potpourri box. Its an upper view of all the parts. The larger ring is the wall of the box. The smaller ring just attaches to the bottom of the lid, and fits inside the wall, to keep the lid in place. So the dynam...

I used the dynamic offset to create the ring part, then duplicate the offset from that to create another ring that fits inside the first ring. So, it works fine to create the first ring, but then when I use it to create the inner ring I get the result You see there, with all the spikes and weird stu...

I'm not sure how to post a screenshot,but will attach the .svg file. Where I put the red star is the issue.The star is not part of the project, just put it there to mark the spot. As You will see the dynamic offset works fine the first time I use it, but when I use it again to create another piece t...

The shape of the object changes drastically in the offset, much like if You use the star tool and change the randomized setting. Somebody at another forum said it was most likely just a bug in the program, and I can work around it, but was just curious if anybody else had encountered the issue and f...

Hi, I am fairly new to using inkscape and trying to learn to use it to design woodcraft patterns. I am having issues with the dynamic offset tool. It seems to work fine the first time I use it, but when I use it a second time the offset object becomes randomized. Has anybody else encountered this si...
