Thanks As I don't build a nuclear plant nor a particles accelerator, I don't need a big precision. As I will then print the result on a sheet of paper, then glue it on an plank and saw it, there are many imprecisions in the whole process. I will try both and see. Inset is very handy because I can ke...

Thanks a lots, it works.
It is quite a lot of work...
I've removed the symetrical part and recrated it after the work on the paths.

Another question: I use the inset function, is it possible to to chosse a step value in an other unit than px (millimeters would be nice)?

Hi, I think the lines are splitted because they are originally built from a CAD program and each individual spline is moved to pdf. Yes the whole red line is what I want. More: if you have a look at the svg files you will see I have duplicated it (symetry) and added the "cap". So the resul...

thank you for the welcome.

I tried twice to post a reply with attached pdf and svg examples but... nothing happens when I submit the message. I am returned to the subject page...

thank you for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome (I've posted a reply this morning - for me - but I don't see it, so I retry). I plan to build a sailboat model. The hull is built from sections (shadows) and covered with small planks. I've pdf drawings of the shadows. But I need to shrink them by the thickness of the plank. A...

Thanks for the welcome. Here are examples. In fact, these are sections (shadows) of the hull of a sailboat model. In the construction process, I add planks so I need to shrink the shape for the value of the plank thickness. Attached the original pdf file. I have to create 1 file for each one (exampl...

Hi, I import shapes from pdf in Inskape. The general shape is half a circle with both end connected with a straight line. I want to shrink the shape by a given value (say 2 millimeters). So, I have converted the shape to a path and tried the shrink the path... and this doesnt work. Having a close lo...
