How to text out of a shape?
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.

Re: How to text out of a shape?
Maybe this?
Have a nice day.
I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1
The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Re: How to text out of a shape?
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..."

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

The issue is the group, not the flowed text. Ungroup.
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!

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