Hi, i hope your having a great day. I wanted to let you all know about a new social network like facebook called TSU that pays users for content. It's a really great place to promote your 3d/2d artwork online, plus you earn money the more content you post which is nice. I would love to see some of t...

It could be related but there is not really a solution in that post so i still have the same issues. Could this be a bug maybe because it seems the offset position is scaled so the commandline probably has something broken in it's maths and gives the wrong value back. For example i did a test and sa...

Is there a formula anywhere which possible to calculate a SVG's text elements pixel size in PHP without having to use the inkscape commandline? One reason i wanted to do this without the commandline was that it seems to return the wrong width and height dimensions or maybe inkscape uses some alterna...

Hi, i was just wondering can you set the X or Y position of a selected object/item via the commandline? I looked online and saw that you can get the position etc but i could not find a way to actually set it so i was wondering if this is possible? Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. What i ended up doing was a workaround where i copy the original SVG, rename it and then modify that with a direct save so no dialog options need to be set. It seems to be working great using this method.

I am having problems with something that is normally simple in other commandline apps. Basically i am just trying to load in a file, modify and save to a brand new file instead of replacing the old file. It opens inkscape tells me the output file cannot be found etc however and does not save to the ...

The actual DXF export works fine if you have Inkscape open and use "File > Save As" however when you use the command line it simply won't work at all. My current guess is you cannot convert to this format via the command line but i might be wrong. I am not sure why it would not be availabl...

I am confused about how text works in terms of it's positioning and sizing with Inkscape becuase when i look in the code for the SVG it is giving me different values than in Inkscape. For example i made a SVG test where the position of X: 0 in Inkscape but in the SVG code X: -6.9352403 and Y is also...

I have been looking online and it seems the DXF save is possibly done with a extension instead of being built in to the program? If so why is that and does it mean there is really no way to convert to DXF format with commandline? DXF export being broken could possibly be a bug with the commandline c...

I recently needed to convert from SVG to DXF with PHP so i tried using the Inkscape commandline however this does not work.

Does anyone have a solution to either of these problems?

Ok thanks, i have figured it out now, the tutorial does not list everything needed as it says nothing about combining the shapes after the subtraction stage to get a solid shape. Thanks

Hi, im a new user of this great app. :) I am trying this tutorial - http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2008/04/f10-gears-drawing-gears.html And all seems fine untill i go to the 'Select everything and do an union' part which it doesn't merge them after. In the image they have it shows them now combined bu...
