Re: Inkscape and PDF

Hi


OS Windows Vista. Inkscape 0.48

Saved a simple rendering in PDF then used "Open with" option and had no problems. Also used "Open an existing document " option with no problems.

Try re-installing Inkscape

Re: Change Pattern along Path width to my preference

Notice that the "shaped" path is rendered with a fill not a stroke set in its attributes It was the Fill width i wanted to change and set to "my preference" from it's default of 1.00 suv. No worries, will use the width of pattern function. Apologies for any confusion caused brynn.

Change Pattern along Path width to my preference

Hi guys

When using :tool_pencil: :tool_pen: in a Shape mode. The default width of the path is set to 1.00 ( which we can change to a desired width). My query is, can i set path width permanently to say 0.3 or 0.5 instead of the default 1.00.
