Grid zoom

When drawing schematics to a A4 paper, in mm, I often find myself troubling with the following: - When zooming in, It is most practically that the smalest grids are 0.25mm (major grid space 1mm and minor grid space 0.25mm). - When zooming a little more out - the most practical grid settings would be...

Re: damaged files - loss of objects

Just to have recommend some software that does a good job checking RAM, I put Memtest on that list.

Memtest can be downloaded as a stand alone bootable image, and it also ships with various Linux distros (the boot cd image).

Personally I prefer using Ultimate Boot CD, where Memtest is included.

Inkscape web page down ?

Hi forum.

When I try to navigate to http://inkscape.org/ - I get the "403 forbidden" in Firefox and "inkscape.org refused to connect" in Chromium.
I have not observed similar problems to other web pages.

Someone else experience the same ?

video too fast for me

I just had a look at the showcase for version 0.92 - maybee just me being slow, but - it goes way too fast to me for being able to follow.

Would love to see the same video with a speed adjustment :)

Re: If you could choose 1 thing that must be implemented or fixed in Inkscape 1.0, what would it be?

I beleive the answer for the question will heavilly depend on what each user do with Inkscape. I mostly use Inkscape for drawing schematics, and I always use layers. Top two most annoying bugs 1 : Sometimes object disappears when moving through multiple layers and one layer in the middle has visibil...

Re: Text - overwrite text contents fails [Windows 10]

Ok - I think I've found the one factor that makes Inkscape behave this way. Since I have a habit to comment "everyting"- I also often put comments, titles or labels on text objects too. So this is what I figured out: - For a newly created text object, Inkscape will probably behave normally...

Re: Problem with image borders when exporting

It is not an Inkscape issue. To obtain your goal, you can do one of either: - Increase DPI when exporting png (a multiple of 96 should gife best results if dealing with px) - Use Gimp - Make a new mask, and use existing alpha. When in edit mask mode, decrease colors to 2. That will give sharp edges,...

Re: Can I use Inkscape as an adapter?

Inkscape works best for svg files. There is a huge number of versions of dxf files and I wouldn't use Inkscape for that. For dxf files, use Librecad instead - it's sort of open source variant to Autocad.

Re: Opening DXF

The problem with dxf files is that there are so many versions. Even Librecad can only open some few variants - those that is initially created using a specific version of Autocad.

Because the "cat" isn't inside the canvas - it's located far left. To fix this - zoom out, unlock layers, move all objects into canvas.

Re: Why does my Inkscape file display differently when I save as PDF?

Hard to say without the actual .svg file. Possible due to a gradient opacity, I believe PDF doesn't support that.

You may check if there is a limitation of the dwg format. If not I assume the problem lies within the sof...

Re: Automatizate operations, connect circles with line

Don't know about scripting so what I says here is just guessing:

I heard that you can manipulate an svg using javascript in web browsers. However I do not know if you're able to save the modified svg back to a static svg file on disk.
