I am loving the spirograph extension but I would like the lines to be a little thicker. I have succeeded in making the last line rendered thicker using the stroke width option but I can;t get it to apply to all the lines.
I have tried changing the stroke width after the lines have been created but only the last line gets thicker.
I have tried creating one line / shape, changing the stroke width on this and then creating subsequent shapes but not only does the thickness not apply to subsequent lines, it also changes the positioning of subsequent lined in relation to the page.
I figure there must be an easy way to do this - can any one tell me how?
Thanks

Re: Changing the stroke width on Spirograph extension
As far as I know, the spirograph extension creates a single long line / path, so it shouldn't have different stroke widths at its end and beginning.
The stroke width of the spiro things the extension creates is hardcoded (it's always 1px), so it cannot be changed before creation of the spirograph drawing.
You can select multiple objects at once to change and adapt their stroke width.

Re: Changing the stroke width on Spirograph extension
Thanks for this. I have figured out that if I just repeat the shape multiples times in the same position it creates a thicker line.

Tbh. I wouldn't recommend that workaround, as there's a built-in, easy-to-use function for it.
But there you go - if you're happy with that solution, of course, use it
