I'm running Windows 10 and Inkscape v. 0.92.4 I need help with installing the Gear creator/generator extension at Extensions>Render>Gear>Gear. It doesn't work by default and I couldn't find any clear instructions anywhere online on what is involved but after an entire day researching the issue and p...

It just says "Interface" not User Interface. It didn't work when I set it to large but now it seems to be working after I tried setting it to small then resizing after that.

Many thanks!

Done! Simple enough. Thanks.

I've noticed that every time I open Inkscape it opens at maximum frame size. If I resize it then close it, it will still open again at maximum size. Is there a way to set it to open to the size it was when last closed?

Good news - the alert seems to be gone now. I did a reboot this morning, then when I went to follow your latest suggestions, when I followed the path again, I found Inkscape was now in the Roaming folder this time and so was the rest of the path. I deleted the .xml and opened Inkscape and no more al...

Thanks. Well, with Inkscape closed and with "Show hidden folders and files" on, in Windows Explorer I manually followed the path ok until I got to Roaming and it ended there because there was no Inkscape folder in it. I tried again with Inkscape open and same result. I then did a file sear...

Hello, I'm running Windows 7 (64bit) and Inkscape v.091-1 (64). I was using it ok for a few days with Inkscape v.048.5-1 created svg files, then I suddenly started to get this error message: "The preferences file C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\preferences.xml is not a valid document. ...

I hope this helps to clarify what I'm describing:

That's very helpful. I'm not showing a "Path > Convert to Path". I have a Path > Object to path. I tried it and the ellipse I boxed over produced some nodes. Is it the same? I have been trying to do something as a workaround but I'm not figuring it out. I want to make a 2D B&W line dra...

I think Inkscape is a great program as-is and ... you can't beat the price! You're right, as I learn beyond beginner level I'll understand it's full capabilities. The main problem I was having was with the ellipses since they don't generate with a string of nodes and I couldn't even add them either ...

Odd - I replied last night but it did not post apparently. It's a line drawing of a football helmet with a large facemask with mounting hardware, so there are many lines, curves and contours. No imported images except for portions of ellipses. I've gotten about half of it to look right (right side) ...

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be working. I selected the whole drawing then Path > Division and nothing happens. Alternatively, dragging the box over just what I want to cut away has no reaction, it will only box around the whole drawing. I have ellipses in the drawing made into half ellipses/archs...

I'll give it a try and if I have problems, I'll be back.Thanks very much!

I've made a detailed line drawing of which I want to cut away only a part of it from the whole, then paste what I cut separately in another space, then mirror that and then join those two exact but opposite parts together. How do I select only what I want and cut it away so I can do the rest I want ...

Hello everyone. Just joined :) I'm running Inkscape v.91 in Win 7 (64bit). I need to create some drawings which have very specific font sizes and page margins which the drawing need to be inside of. To save time I want to create a blank starting template with my preferred settings. I'm not clear on ...
