hi,
i hope you can help.
i can from corel draw and was gutted to find that i could not put it onto my mac - yay when i found inkscape.
But the programme has progressivly gotten less functional since i started using it.
I am on mac os snowleopard 10.6.8 with all up to date and reinstalled xquartz and inkscape 0.48-2.
The files i have previously created are distorted when i open them, a relativley simple vector file i did will not allow b eot continue working on it and the trace function is terrible.
what am i doing wrong? I have wasted so much of my time trying to figure out what is happening - all advise welcome
pies and peace
xx
Problems loading files, moving, tracing, distorting vectors
Re: Problems loading files, moving, tracing, distorting vect
Did you change the setting for numeric precision? The default value is 8, based on the screenshots you possibly did reduce it to a value of 2 or lower.
Relevant setting:
File > Inkscape preferences > SVG Output > Numbers > Numeric Precision: [8]
(Note: this is only a guess - based on the screenshots alone it it difficult to figure out what is happening).

whoa - thank you soooo much x
yes it was on 1!
have changed it and things moving fine and trace function fine too.
Its running a bit slow is there anything i can change to correct that?
I'm not a novice but am new to inkscape - can oyu point me in direction of some decent tutorials/info?
Thank you for your time and for answering so quickly

One thing that might be happening is that stroke-only paths are being filled. Not everything between corel and Inkscape transfers well.
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/
