Re: Using an Image as a "Fill Pattern"

Thanks for the help. I would assume to trace bitmap to vectorize the image I want to use as a fill pattern. I am familiar with using fill patterns in Photoshop, but I am more accustomed (weird since I am asking this question!) to using Inkscape. How do I convert an Object to a Pattern? Every time I ...

Using an Image as a "Fill Pattern"

I am designing a sign with a number on it. How can I make the Fill of the number (11) show as an image? I trace bitmap using color to retain the properties of the photo, and click the number and try a combination of exclusion, inclusion, etc. and nothing happens. Instead of a solid gray colored numb...

Re: Retreiving Fonts Used....

See I saw Woodcut-Cracked when I looked at the .svg in Notepad, and that is definately not the correct font. Well Offset is something I do a lot of to make outline layers for my graphics. Which explains why sometimes I can edit the text and sometimes not (I remember going to the original object and ...

Re: Retreiving Fonts Used....

How does each object get converted to a path if I do not directly click to do so? Just curious. I just click the A tool, drag it to the size I want, pick a font and type. Then I will copy and past the object, outset it, etc. and that is it?

Thanks!

Re: Retreiving Fonts Used....

I clicked the object and had to go up and click Text and Font to change it - but the only font name that came up in Notepad is not the correct font used. "You can also select the object with the selector tool and go to Text > Text and Font menu and change it there." Currently that is the o...

Re: Retreiving Fonts Used....

If you were trying to follow my suggestion, please note that Word is not a text editor, it's a word processor. If you haven't got a decent text editor, Notepad will probably suffice. (If you must use Word, then you will need to force it to open the SVG file as plain text.) I realize Word is a "...

Re: Retreiving Fonts Used....

I opened the .svg in Word, and clicked on Attributes for each path (the number is layered) and each time it just gives me the Text ID, which different each time despite the actual font being the same thing. I do not understand why sometimes I can open a file in Inkscape, hit the A button for text, a...
