Re: Cannot change measurement unit, probably due to older version of default.svg

The temporary solution seems to work. After a lot of struggling, I managed to create a new template and it retained inches as measutement.

Cannot change measurement unit, probably due to older version of default.svg

OS: Debian 9 Inkscape version: 0.92.1 r15371 (Sorry cannot upgrade due to Debian's stability policies) When I start a new document, the measurements on the ruler are always in pixel. If I click the drop down menu on the document preference to change the measurement unit to inch or any other unit, no...

Re: Problem with printing and page size

I made some further testing and the results are weird. It does not seem to change the size but rather the alignment. I have a rectangle alligned to the border of the page where of course some part of it will not get drawn (that is intentional). But if I print directly from inkscape, for some reason,...

Problem with printing and page size

I never actually printed from inkscape before since I normally print to PDF first. I have a very simple page I need to print from inkscape. Le format of the paper is letter and landscape. I checked the measurements in the preference and they are OK. Now when I try to print, the printer does not reco...

Re: Snapping to objects or Vertex

I tried with the snapping tool bar and it works. I attached the results as an example. The hexagon are made of 6 different segments grouped together. Vertex Snapping and rotation in steps of 15 degrees make it work perfectly without the use of a grid.

Snapping to objects or Vertex

Re: Custom axonometric grid

I made some test with the grids. In theory, if you use an angle of 15 degress for the first grid and 60 degress for the second grid, you should have all the right rangles for all the line of the patterns. The problem is the alignment of the vertex, they never match the grid. For example, if the leng...

Re: Custom axonometric grid

Also, your numbers seem wrong! the top left angle does not look like 115 degrees! This would only leave 130 for the middle two angles but they look larger. My error, it's 105 degrees Why do you want a grid? This is quite easy to do as a pattern or as a tiled clone, but are those solutions not appli...

Custom axonometric grid

Is there a way to set up the axonometric grid (or a combination of 2 grids) to be able to create a pattern of rectangular hexes like in the picture below. The top left corner of the hex has a angle of 115 degrees and all hex segment has the same size.

Re: Is there a silhouette creation tool?

Finding a human silhouette is easy, there are many dingbats and clip part with a silhouette. It's really mapping it on a many skeleton path that was the problem.

You said we can combine skeleton path together?

I could make a path for each member of the silhouette and link the paths together.

Re: Is there a silhouette creation tool?

The thing I was not sure is if it was possible to have multiple path connected together as a skeleton. Maybe you need to separate the legs and arms and make 1 path for each of them plus 1 path for the torso/head.

Re: Tilled Bitmap texture create artifacts

Is there a way I can permanently add your filter in the filter menu of inkscape instead of pasting style all the time. It seems to be a simple color matrix filter. Else, I need to design the filter...

Re: Tilled Bitmap texture create artifacts

If your tiled object doesn't content transparency the joined filter should remove the white lines.


There is no transparency. I don't understand what is a "Joined filter". Don't remember having a filter with that name.

Re: Any tips to increase productivity time with inkscape?

I don't understand your bigger screen request! The only way to get a bigger screen is to get a bigger monitor


Yes, Big Screen = Bigger monitor.

I did not know you could save customized filters. Could be useful.

Learn all the keboard commands, and use them?


I am currently using a lot of them.

Any tips to increase productivity time with inkscape?

I like inscape a lot, but sometimes, when you want to do some quality work, it takes a lot of time to design and create stuff. (I do not say that inkscape is slower than other software).

I just made some print test and the bitmap texture bug seems also to affect the printed results. If I use a bitmap as a texture, on screen and once printed, there is an edge that appears around the texture once tilled.

Re: How do you remove embed pictures

Vacuum def seem to have reduced my file size and some unused textures are not in the list anymore. But since I cannot see the complete list of embed picture, I cannot be certain that everything unused has been removed. But it seems to do a part of the work.

Re: How do you remove embed pictures

Extract image is useful to get back your original file if you don't have it anymore, but it does not necessarily remove the picture from the SVG.

I'll try vacuum def later and see if it works.
