Re: Recovering a Path Stroke

So I tried the Crtl-Left-Click and it rotated the circle. However the text was not going with it. I also did a Shift Click on the text selecting both text and circle, and they rotated together. Thanks - now I have a work around. What got me stuck was if I had an ungrouped circle and put text on the ...

Re: Recovering a Path Stroke

I have found I can reveal paths, click on stroke and a solid color, and restore the outline of a circle that I used to put text on its path. What I want to do is rotate that path 90 degrees CW because if I alt-arrow the text to the left, is starts disappearing. I would normally just select the path ...

Recovering a Path Stroke

If I create a circle and put text on the path, I generally have to rotate/flip the circle until I get the text to where I want it. When that is complete I select the circle, go to Fill and Stroke, select stroke paint, and then click the delete paint. That leave the text along the path without showin...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

You can replace the line (line 5) xmlns:ns0="&ns_ai;" by something like xmlns:ns0="http://adobe.com" Then deep ungroup will work. The python module that is used by the extension seems to actually check if the co...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

Couldn't you save a copy of the file that you send to the pin maker? Then you could use that to make the t-shirt. Or even make the t-shirt file first? Because I'm thinking that the pin maker must not be substantially changing the image itself. They're probably just isolating certain paths, and chan...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

Great. What I do is design an image in Inkscape. I send it to a pin manufacturer. They take the SVG I send and run it through AI. They modify it so there are raised metal areas that enamel is painted into. They then send their image (.ai) back to me for acceptance. What I do is take that .ai back in...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

I tried the Deep Ungroup but got this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "ungroup_deep.py", line 276, in <module> effect.affect() File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 279, in affect self.parse() File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensio...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

Found it - I added to the bug and uploaded the same files that will and will not print so the programmer can ascertain what can be done to fix it. Bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1665768 Someone suggested deleting the clip - however the bad file has many as does the good one. I...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

I may have found the culprit. I kept selecting with the Edit Paths by Nodes tool, then the Select and Transform tool and un-grouping. Finally I unset the clip path and it let me copy the graphic to a new sheet and print it. Question is - why would a clip set keep an image from being printed? As you ...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

I pretty much have a work around. I can print in Linux or I can import the svg into AI and it prints there as well. I'm intrigued as to why I get the error. Next I'll fool with Process explorer and some other tools to try and locate the problem.I just downloaded firmware updates to both printers and...

Re: Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

I think I have narrowed it a bit more. I can create an svg with two circles (1.837 and 1.500) and drop either a jpg or png image into it. I can replicate 12 times to a page. This prints OK. It appears the imported problematic images are made with Adobe illustrator. An example is I get a final image ...

Printing Issue on Windows 10 and Inkscape Version 92.1

I'm having a problem with two Brother printers - HL-3170CDW and MFC-7860DW and Inkscape 92.1 in Windows 10. If I create a graphic, from scratch all in Inkscape, it will print (i.e. circle and some text). If I import a JPG, PNG or any other graphic and add text, resize, et al, when attempting to prin...
