Re: Export as visible, with mask information discarded?

Thanks suv, I'll go back and try using the Path > Difference function, and Brynn - I tried exporting in every format I could think of - Plain SVG, PDF, EPS etc. All the vector foramats had the clip mask embedded, and I couldn't find a way to use the raster formats for what I want to do. Very gratefu...

Export as visible, with mask information discarded?

Hi, thanks to help on this forum I have designed my logo using inkscape and I'm very pleased. Now I need to make it 3D in blender. The problem is that I used clip/masks in the process. When Blender Imports the SVG it ignores these. Is there a way to make inkscape export exactly what I can see, but w...

Re: Simple question about clip/mask function

~suv; I'm glad it's a known bug and not that I'm missing something! brynn; thanks for posting these experiments - even the level of distortion you are experiencing would be too much for me, as this needs to be usable by fussy design agencies with other software. However it does make me think I shoul...

Re: Simple question about clip/mask function

Druban; thanks- but doesn't that shape you have posted have exactly the same problem (if you look really close)? I have tried mine with numeric entry in the fileds at 180 degrees - same problem! Brynn Or maybe you could convert to path (stroke to path), and snap corner nodes to the guide, or a grid ...

Re: Simple question about clip/mask function

Thanks druban the "difference" method worked well! brynne - good suggestion as I have another problem - how do I make two arcs join together flush at the ends? I can't seem to make inkscape draw the ends of the arc at exactly 90 degrees - it's always just off. I have attached an image to e...

Simple question about clip/mask function

Hi, I know how to use a shape to mark a clip area. Once executed that leaves me with everything invisible apart from what is within the area I have marked; however what I want to do is mark the area that I wish to make invisible. How is that done? I can post images of what I am trying to do if that ...
