Nope, but that sounds like the kind of thing I need to do. I simply grouped them with the group button. Paths are new to me, so I haven't ventured too far in that direction yet. Is there a good tutorial that can explain them on a basic level, how they work, and what they work with? For example, I've...

Then I grouped them, and made a radial clone of those. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, 8GB RAM. I'm getting a new HDD s...

I am making a pattern based on lots of clones of a single object. The trouble is, that if I make too many clones it crashes the program, which it surely will if I try to clone what I have so far. http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/7608/ntv.png Is there are way to make all of these clones into one ob...

Thank you, that makes sense. I'll give that a go. What I have looks random, because I added a random factor to the clone tiling for both the rotation and the spacing. Then I think I did something with the distribution that made them less in a circle. Yes, that worked, but I had to deselect then rese...

I am new to inkscape and experimenting with different techniques.
