Thanks for the heads up! I'll experiment with those!

I am trying to fill a small piece of a ring with the colours of the rainbow. It should look as if a piece of a rainbow has been cut out. I just need to have six basic colours, no gradients... But I can't even imagine how I should begin to create this effect. Been trying over and over again to fix th...

Never mind... my friend isn't happy with the C anyway

Never mind... back to the drawing table. This post should be deleted!

But when I converted the flowed text to just text, it worked.

As I said, never mind. I first needed to check something.

In the mean time I found out what was wrong. Problem is solved. This thread can be deleted.
Thanks though!

Hmmm... never mind. I first need to check something.

I found out this though: I turned it all into paths. I drew a rectangle around it. Then I chose "Path" > "Exclusion" And ... tadaaaa! It works! At first glance, that is. Now there is a rectangular around the entire thing that should not be there. So I tried to delete the rectangu...

So I have this rather complex shape now. I managed to combine several shapes into one monochrome shape. Hurray! But now I found that I did it the opposite way of what I really want. I'll try to explain. Basically I have combined two shapes. Let's call them "Shape M" and "Shape C"...

Never mind! Found how to change from Flowed Text to just Text!
Works now!

THANKS A LOT!!!

Ah, thanks!

Well. It does not work, most likely because the text doesn't say "Text" but "Flowed Text". When I select both the logo and the text, it says "2 objects selected of types Group, Flowed Text in layer..."

So I have a shape and a text on top of it. How can I cut the text out of the shape? I need it that way, as I need it to be monochrome/transparant ànd it has to be easy to change its colour.

Uhhhhhhhh... I'll have to analyse and try to recreate that.
Thanks anyhow! Your help is very much appreciated!!!

That is exactly what I needed, Lazur! How did you accomplish that?

Thanks, btw.

I'm trying to make a heraldic badge. It's a "Catherine Wheel" divided in an X shape, with the top and bottom quarters in red an the left and the right quarter in white. In heraldic terminology, called "blazoning": "per saltire gules and argent, a catherine wheel". Alas ...

Perfect! I just had the same issue, and your tip did it! Thanks!

Tested it, and yay! It worked like a charm! Thanks a lot for the assistance!

A little politeness goes a long way and makes this world a happier place!

Thanks, I'll try that. And it's absolutely okay to move this thread to the right spot.
Sorry that I put it in the wrong forum.

So I'm trying to fit a "vair" (an heraldic fur) to a shield. I have a "vair" that is way too large, so I want to somehow use the shield like a cookie cutter. I tried all possible ways of cutting. All 8 of them. The only one that even responded was "combine", which obvio...

The Paint Bucket can do that? Don't know how to do that.

But the work is done by now! Thanks a lot! Especially: thanks Moini! Your tip did it!

Cross the line? That's the whole trick? Gah... I feel so 'stoopit' now!

Thanks a lot, Moini! I'll try tomorrow and reply to keep you informed if it works!

The line is seperate, and the entire orange field is one single field. I don't manage to turn it into two different fields. These are the effects that I generate if I try to do those things that might be the right actions. As you can see, none of them does what I want it to do. Oh, and sorry that th...

So I have this orange shape that needs to be cut in two and the left part has to be coloured red.
I can't manage to use the middle line to cut the field in two though, so I can't find the way to do this.

Any tips, please? Thanks!

Thanks
