Help with using Inkscape • svg file is blank upon opening

2019-12-07T02:24:00+10:00

Yes, probably. Unless you accidentally converted all contents of your drawing to patterns. You can do Object > Pattern > Pattern to objects on a patterned object to convert it back, if that's the case.

Help with using Inkscape • Copying Text Put on Path (moving text relative to a line)

2019-12-06T05:32:03+10:00

Sorry, it's not clear to me what you want yet.

So, what I understand is:

You want to have a text that follows a path, and is centered on that.
Text > Put on path works for you.

It seems you want to have the same text linked to a different line, is that correct?

If that is the case, then:

- Ctrl+C the text
- Paste it
- Text > remove from path
- Text > put on path with the other path

or:

Make a copy of the text before you put it on the path and put only the copies on different paths.

or:

Edit the text attributes to point to the id of the new path in the XML editor.

It doesn't look as if anyone has created a feature yet to link the text to a different path, when the path is copied along with the text.
You can make a feature request for that at https://inkscape.org/report .

General Discussions • How to draw line

2019-12-06T05:05:34+10:00

It's the Pen tool.

Maybe it would be enough to rename the 'Advanced' tutorial in the 'Help' menu ... It contains the info you're looking for.

I think you might also like to have a look at a beginner-friendly manual, like https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io ... index.html or a tutorial series like this series: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11981 .

Help with using Inkscape • Clip From Path Instead of Object

2019-12-04T14:57:27+10:00

To add to what Xav has explained, you might think that 'combine' from the word would join two paths where they overlap, but it doesn't; that function is performed by the 'join nodes' button in the nodetool control bar. It looks like there might be three locations where the nodes overlap and need to be merged into one.
In addition, if, after you have made it into a single path, you want to cut the small shape out of the big one, you will need to use 'difference' or - ironically - 'combine'. I only suggest this because I can see no other reason the larger path should have a specific shape - or even be necessary.

Inkscape & Cutters/Plotters • Inkcut with Roland CAMM-1 GS-24 cutting wrong -> Compiling generates random hops to origin?

2019-12-03T03:05:20+10:00

Inkcut is a third-party extension, right? Have you asked in the place the author suggests for asking? (whereever you got it from, there may even be multiple sources).

Can you share such a file, please? And also make a screenshot of the 'Save as' or better 'Save a copy' dialog just before you hit the save button?

Help with using Inkscape • clipping paths with other paths

2019-12-03T03:00:45+10:00

You want to use Boolean operations (and possibly, path editing). Learn about them here: https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io ... tions.html and here: https://vektorrascheln.de/posts/2015/De ... operations for example (many more resources are available on the web).
