Thanks for the replys guys! Ahah! i can just see my wife allowing me a model that size in the house Druban!, As it is this things going to be around 8-10 ft long when it's all tagged together, there is a wall in the spare room just long enough which is where i keep all my models, I've added the link...

These are the decals i managed to make useing inkscape, This is one of three trailers making up an Australian Road Train, Iremade the main large round logo as the first attempt didn't look right, i made the white "Aus" outline and the yellow innercircle too light in color , I must admit i ...

Thanks Brynn i will try that, Druban, thanks so much for takeing the trouble, i will print your posts if thats ok?, I would find it handy to have printed info when trying to do as your suggesting, So before i do have a go, This "Faststone image viewer"? I take it i need to download this? I...

Thanks mate!! i have to cut an "L" off the end :lol: I did that alignment thing while having a go at a tutorial, i never thought to do it to these sheets, It looks so much better, Cheer's, I redid the sheet and left off the badly reduced small text, Instead i found an ideal "hazzard w...

Hi Druban, Thanks so much for your help, please bear with me, i will try and post images of what i have done although i'm not sure at the moment how to go about this, I use Photobucket for my hosting and till it try i dont know if i can post the images through that site, However i'll try a bit later...

Hi and thanks Ragstian & Druban, yeah they are kind of small, I just dumped an inkjet!!! :roll: still i will see if my son can get old of one, His customers mostly replace with laserjet but he does have to get rid of their old ones some of which are working fine, (i keep looking out for an "...

Hi, I'm trying to make some small warning signs for use as decals on model trucks, I have made some but when i resize the image small and then print it it is blured, My printer is a good one, HP color laserjetCP1515n (office) so i dont think it's a printer issue but could be wrong, Any tips as to ho...

OK Guys!!! panic over, my son happened to call round with a scanner for me, and downloaded the new (0.48) version druban kindly linked, It's got the snap bar and all the other bells and wistles so i'm sorted, Thanks again guys for your help, Cheer's, Ian

my tool bar symbols look slightly different to the manual pic So ... I'm guessing it's going to be Inkscape 0.46? It's time to download it again/for the first time, either way.... Hi, it's 0.45 by the looks of things, is that even worse? i wondered of this was down to the version, trust me to get t...

OK in the top right hand of the "about inkscape" in help box it says "inkscape 0.45.1,built mar 21 2007, i definatly have the snap missing Also i notice your menu bar is the same as the pic in Taumjong Bah's manuel, mine reads (from left to right) File. Edit. View. Layer. Object. Path...

Hi guys, thanks for the replys, OK then hopefully this link will show the anatomy of the screen, http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Anatomy.html If you look at the top far right there are 3 "down" arrows on the command/snap/tool bars, i dont have these, Also i have no snap bar, I...

Hi, i seem to have some bits missing, On my panel there is no "Snap bar" plus the "Additional Command/Snap/&Tool option down arrows are not there, Have i dont something by accident or is this normal or perhaps a different version to the pic in the tutorial menu?, The program froze...

Don't worry about learning the things. Just use it. Try out each function a couple times, to see how they work. Tutorials are always polished, and if you learn only by them, you will have less experience how to solve occurring problems. I know what your saying, i ment i've a lot to learn as i go al...

Thanks, Lazur, been looking at the inkscape manual most of the day, My god what a lot there is there, even with the basics i have a lot to learn, really is a marvel what can be achieved.

Hope these worked.

Thanks once more Brynn, i did have a look and saw the different measurements in the drop down box, Next thing i'm going to try is resize an image i already printed and know the measurements of and see if i can resize it in mm, For my decal purposes it dosen't need to be millimeter perfect, but i wil...

Well, due to the content of your reply, perhaps you missed to spot that Manual is underlined and blue? Usually, it means that text is a link to some web page, site or similar.. so, while hoping that I`m not taking to much liberty in understanding what you wrote, I`m curios - have you checked that M...

Hi, i have'nt checked the manual yet, i did my search (an post in help section) before reading your reply, but i definatly will be reading through it, not had much chance today, my grandson who's staying the weekend hogged the PC (till it crashed), Should i give him five across the eye's or just sen...

Sorry Ragnar!! i'll keep it short in future,
Thanks for the help Lazur, i will try and alter the settings, much apprecieated.
