Can you tell I'm a blond? Sorry about that - don't know why I was looking under Filters when I've used it correctly so many times....

Thanks for your patience.

I've had this problem several times - I open either an existing SVG that I made with Inkscape OR create a new SVG from one of the Inkscape templates (the only templates I use) and when I click on "Filters" Path Effects Editor doesn't always show up. I'll see "Filter Editor" and &...

Thanks for the other option, SUV! I do a lot of intricate needlework and if I have to modify something on one side, I usually have to duplicate it on the other so being able to edit more than one path in a variety of methods gives me so much flexibility.

Thanks, Brynn! You're a genius!!! It worked like a charm and is such a time saver and makes a frustrating, repetitive process so much easier. Definitely something to remember!

Is there any way to set a default of some kind on the "Path Effects" ruler? Every time I use it, I have to reset all of the dialog boxes, even if I'm converting segments into rulers one right after another. I've looked in both "Doc Preferences" and "Inkscape Preferences"...

Brynn - I was talking about maximized size - sorry about that. Druban - I don't have all the bars and palettes open. Went back into templates, re-opened, reset, re-saved and now it's working - don't know what I did differently - but it's what I wanted so life is good! Thanks for the info, guys! KJW

I can't get Inkscape to open in full screen mode. I've gone into "Inkscape Preferences" and have "Save and restore window geometry" checked, gone into the Inkscape templates folder and made sure that the 2 I use the most (Default, and Default_mm) are with the full screen open and...

the numberic precision is at 8, as far as the distance they move, I'm not sure. I just know they don't stay put. Do you mean that you create a pattern and save it, and then the next time you open it, the nodes have moved? Or do you mean that you're cutting the pattern on a machine, and the nodes are...

When I open craft patterns that I've made the nodes seem to drift off of the path intersections I've snapped them to. The pattern consists of a graph-paper-like grid that I've made (not created by Inkscape's grid feature), and simple, point to point lines that are the actual pattern design. I tried ...

Thanks!!!

I just downloaded the latest version of Inkscape and now have 2 tool bars that are stuck to the right side of the screen. I don't see the handles that allow you to move them. I have clicked everywhere and run the mouse all over the bars but they don't appear, nor does the selector change from 1 larg...

that listed 2 Inkscape compatible probrams Listed WHAT? Programs perhaps? Believe it or not, I actually passed spelling in school! :roll: The programs (see...I'm a quick learner, too!) allowed you to edit scanned images then open them in Inkscape and convert them to svg's. The one I was really inte...

Not too long ago I read something that listed 2 Inkscape compatible probrams, one that was great for editing scanned images, black and white only was best, and the other for color images. Can anyone tell me what they were? I'm pretty sure it was a news/update email type of thing but I can't find the...

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the "Delete Segment Between Two Non-Endpoint Nodes" or do I have to keep going to the menu bar?

KJW

Thanks so much - it's a lot faster than what I had been doing! Could you tell me where you found it? I searched the forum and found a list of shortcuts but didn't see this one on it.

KJ

I constantly switch between normal and outline views - is there any way to do a better shortcut than the "Atl+V D O" method?

KJ

Thanks so much for the options! I appreciate your help with this stuff so much!!! I'm going to have a lot similar shapes in my next few projects so I'm going to play around with your options to see which works best. ...the question you had was really more along the lines of "Can my web browser ...

I want to join the red line in the first image to the purple line to form a closed path **without** having to break the purple line's path. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5766/howtoedit.jpg I have combined the paths (Ctrl+k), but, of course, the paths were still open. Using the unite command gave ...

....And the lightbulb FINALLY goes on....

Thank you for your patience! I'll be posting the question that started all of this under a separate topic name in a few minutes.

KJW

How do I go from a plain file in my documents folder to "http://....."?

Thanks, c-quel...hope your ready for a GOOD laugh....how do I "make" the image into a link? Yeah, I know---I'm WAY behind in terms of modern technology and its uses....

That puppy is way too cute!

Hi guys

I'd like some help with a path question but can't find info on how to add the image to my post. The last time I did it as an attachment - was that correct, or is there another way?

KJW

Can anyone recommend a low cost plotter/cutter for making stenils? I don't need anything that prints, just cuts, and would like it to handle materials such as vinyl and acetate, with a max cutting size of about 24" across. If smaller is cheaper, I'm still interested.

Thanks!

KJW

Are you hit by bug #495483 “0.47 very slow or freezes when combing complex paths (ctrl + k)”? I was thinking that the slow responses I've been having were just happening to me - I didn't realize that there might be more to them then that. I'd propose you test to combine less and to use (nested) gro...

I'm guessing the image you're working in is either huge, and/or has a lot of layers, gradients, paths, nodes. Other possible causes would be using Filters or Extensions. “crash when node-editing pattern-filled object” It's black and white, no layers, gradients, filters or extensions, but has huge n...
