Hello,
Here is my question:



When drawing line-art (I mean no fills, only strokes), how to achieve the above in a simple way?
I need to end up with only lines, so that I can export the result as line-art on a transparent background.

Thank you!

Duplicate the "Top" stroke (Ctrl-D). Select the duplicate and the other stroke (Hold shift and select the other stroke). Cut the path (Path->Cut Path or Ctrl-Alt /). Select the overlapping part of the cut path, and delete it.

There are three different boolean path operations that will do that for you -- Difference, Cut and Division. You can see them demonstrated on Heathenx's blog: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-co ... ep002.html

Thank you very much for your replies.
I chose the duplication, cutting and deletion method.

I wonder if there is a way to do this to a whole bunch of paths at once, i.e. whatever is found below and at the same time within the interior of a path is removed for all paths and the result is combined into a single path.

Or how difficult would it be to write a script to do an operation like that?

Thank you....
