Glad I could help.

Does your tablet work with other programs? OP what operating system do you have?

This has worked for many people:

suv once again you help me. Thank you. Your technique of using Difference does the trick! Lets hope we don't have to go through all of that for much longer

Does anyone know if Illustrator's 'Align Stroke' feature is being worked on for Inkscape?

What are other ways of making a 1px line go along the outside of a shape that can then be separated from the shape it came from? It needs to be 1px wide precisely.

Thanks again all!

Save the file as a png. Select the png file in Finder. Choose Get Info from the File menu. Click the icon that appears in the Info window. Choose Copy from the Edit menu (Leave the Info window open). In the Finder, select the folder or document whose icon you want to change. Click the icon that appe...

The reason the CMYK colour values are different is Inkscape still doesn't fully support CMYK - there are ways to make Inkscape work for print by using scribus though. I'm not an expert on this program, perhaps someone can explain better if you're interested?

If these 2 images are jpgs/gifs/pngs or any other pixel image format, you may want to try an image editor, not a vector graphics program like Inkscape. The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is the preferred free image editor, millions of people use it - http://www.gimp.org Or are the two images ...

Inkscape uses the web standard SVG format, so it's not ideal for CMYK. Can you use an RGB colour value instead? Is this needed for print?

Choose one: ⋅ change the cap style of the stroke: Fill & Stroke > Stroke style > Cap: [x] Square cap ⋅ change the selection bounding box to ' Geometric ': Inkscape Preferences > Tools > Bounding box to use: [x] Geometric bounding box ⋅ … other ideas? (question: why...

Thanks llogg, I'm about to give that a try now. Quick question for everyone while I'm here, how do I stop these dotted lines appearing at the ends of my stroke: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w73/purepics/lines.jpg I know it's to show the thickness of the stroke, but I've got my strokes ending a...

That's useful to remember, thanks suv!

Hi NEOINKMAN2,

All you need to do is draw a path using a tool like Bezier Curve in the shape that you want the text to follow. Then put the text over that path (resize accordingly) and select both text and path. Click Text > Put on Path

If you need any further help let us know.

Thanks for your thoughts Kjohrf.

I'll look a bit further into 'Pattern along Paths'. From what I read this morning it only supports one object, I have 6. But the tutorial I read that from may have been based on an old version of inkscape.

If anyone else has any ideas please also let me know!

Hi all, The title may be a little confusing - I have no idea how to achieve this... I have 6 strokes forming this texture: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w73/purepics/a2.jpg Four 1pixel wide white lines with a black and grey stroke underneath - Each stroke going top to bottom. I'd like to make c...

Really nice work RM, are you drawing over an existing photo of someone wearing a suit?

The face is particularly special because it's 100% Inkscape, and faces are the most difficult to fake!

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve with the two circles?

I like your illustration Michael.

I think Inkscape is amazing too, and I also use many opensource programs at home, all of which I'm very pleased with. Inkscape, GIMP and Blender are the ones I use the most, and all 3 have a very helpful community.

Have fun using Inkscape!

Sounds like a compatibility issue between Illustrator and Inkscape or the fonts themselves. I use Illustrator CS3, and when opening files in Inkscape some things do change - It's not Inkscape, it's Adobe not following rules.

You might need to outline your fonts before opening the file in Inkscape.

Select the text you want in Word and copy it (Ctrl C). In inkscape click on the big 'A' in the toolbox and click anywhere on the artboard, then paste (Ctrl F). If you want a different font to the one showing in Inkscape just go Text>Text and Fonts... and choose what you want.

JaapB are you joan? If you're not this may get confusing since Joan is on XP and you're on Leopard...

Anyway JaapB try downloading the '0.47pre3' version of Inkscape from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/

I think some bugs with Leopard were fixed in that version.

Hi Jazmin. A few questions:

Was the AI file created in Inkscape?
What version of Inkscape are you using?
What operating system?

Welcome to the forums Joan.

Where did you download the Inkscape installer from and which version is it?

The official download page is http://www.inkscape.org/download

If they still haven't printed out your cards please email them your master svg or ai file and they will print out a vector image of the map for you. Printers prefer vector images to any sort of compressed bitmap image.

Why didn't anyone tell tfw when he first posted

The neater function should appear in Inkscape 0.48.

Read the 'Google Summer of Code 2009 results' post on the inkscape.org homepage.

tuisu I use the same 'huge rectangle with hole' technique as you do in both Inkscape and Illustrator. I agree with you it would be a good feature especially for those who use the space outside document boundaries to store unused pieces.

Will you report a request as advised above?
