I'm sorry; how is that putting you down?
You made your statement and I disagreed.

I've updated the original post with an image to make what I'm talking about clearer. 1) If a line goes behind an object, draw it as "2 separate lines with a gap". It is more work, and creates more ragged ends, and things don't exactly line up, but it gets you "thinking" in a real...

Since I'm poking around these forums already, I thought I might ask about something that I've thought of from time to time. I'm wondering if there is a better method or process to draw than what I am doing. To clarify, I'm talking about creating images that look like hand drawn-cartoons: they have l...

I can't help but notice in your example gif you drag these line segments FROM THE MIDDLE of the line, and not, say, a couple pixels away from the node. Maybe it's because if you grab a segment near the nodes that subtle manipulation will send the line flying out into the stratosphere, or maybe it's ...

Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the nodes when I am trying to select them? This is by far the biggest and most aggravating issue I face with using Inkscape. When I am using the "edit paths by nodes" tool I CONSTANTLY have the wrong thing get selected. If I miss clicking the a...

Sweet! Thanks!

I have some guides set up on my image that I wind up getting confused with other guides, and I have to pull back and examine the image to tell which guide I am trying to follow. Is there a way I can distinguish one guide form another? Like make it change color? Or maybe assign guides to particular l...

How can I a keep a line pointy? Here's what I'm talking about: Point.png If I have a line coming to a sharp point like that, I might have it cut off on the end like on the right, or it might have a sharp point extend out like on the left. Typically I can tweak it just slightly to make it go one way ...

Oh, I can press alt-space for the dialogue window to select "Move." So I can do that for windows that don't appear in the taskbar.

That was not expressly stated in that thread, but I did find it when he mentioned it for the main window.

Thank you.

When I try to open up the "document properties" dialogue box, the window for it apparently opens up off-screen. The last time I was working in inkscape I had a different monitor configuration, so I guess it used to appear on a monitor I no longer have. The main window grays out like I am f...

Okay, that did it. Thank you!

My regular computer is out of commission this week, and so I downloaded and installed the latest version of Inkscape (onto my laptop,) which apparently is 0.91. I have no idea what version I am used to using, but it couldn't be more than two years old. Right away I notice that the program actually r...

I'm wondering if there is any method to create a curve that automatically has the lines coming off of it to be tangent. In AutoCAD, I can draw a circle, and then attach two lines to it as tangents. This creates a shape of a straight line going in one direction, curving in a perfect circle, and then ...

I am wondering if there is a way to move an object by an exact value. perhaps to have it snap to a set distance. I know there are some snap setting in the document properties, but these do not do what I'm looking for. Those snap to a grid or a guide, and annoyingly require fiddling with a menu to ac...

I have an image that I have drawn with several objects overlapping each other. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/714x669q90/537/DBvXu3.png I want to fill the shapes with a particular design that I will create custom for each shape. Under normal circumstances the only way I can think to do this is sp...
