I recently uninstalled an old version of Inkscape and installed 0.92 on my Win 7 (64-bit) computer. I had the same problem with not being able to set Inkscape as the default program for SVG files. I went into the registry (regedit.exe) here: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\inkscape.exe\shell\open\com...

How do you do it in SketchUp Pro?

Any way to tell inkscape to hide all my visible objects, then I can just group select all these nodes and delete them.

I export svg files from Sketchup (using flightsofideas plugin). The lines are exported as paths. I noticed in inkscape that there is a hidden object behind the visible. For example, I exported a circle, then in inkscape clicked on it to select it then used the arrow keys to move it over. Then if I u...

I tried ctrl+D and that works.

Did you try to paste it with Ctrl+Alt+V? Without accidentally pressing Alt+B instead? If not, then I can think only of the known bug with osx's clipboard that produced such result. The issue is related to the program and the system you running it. Others opening your svg with inkscape on a differen...

Thanks. I'll look into that

I have an object in inkscape that I want to copy and paste back into inkscape so there are two of them. When I do this, the 2nd object is actually an image, it's not really a copy of the first. How do I create a real copy. Attached is the file I tried this with.

I export svg files from sketchup that are eventually used by my laser cutter. Before I cut on the laser cutter I take the Sketchup generated SVG file, open it in inkscape and do the following: Select an object and ungroup it Then I combine the same object with ctrl+k Then with the :tool_node: tool I...

This was a big help. I tried both the "Join Selected Nodes" and "Join selected endnodes with a new segment" and both convert it into one path for my laser printer.

Now I just need to see if there is a way I can run a macro or something to automate it.

Here is how that method works, step by step. Thanks, that helps. I'm not sure I'm doing it quite the same way though. After I combine with ctrl+k. I then selected the "Edit paths by node" tool. Then I selected everything and clicked on the Join Selected Nodes Icon. Then the status at the ...

I made some progress If I do this: ungroup combine stroke to path simplify Then my laser cutter software no longer sees a bunch of small segments (polylines is what the laser software calls them). Instead it sees just two. So when cutting a circle that needs two passes, it will go all the way around...

With a single circle a manual method would be by combining all the segments (Ctrl+K) together, selecting all nodes, connecting the unconnected segments, pressing Ctrl++ to remove doubles, then selecting again all the nodes and set them to curved ones. I tried ctrl+k and it joined all the segments. ...

No, I'm using the free version and I haven't found a plug-in that will do this.

It's not just circles, it's everything. Attached is an example.

When using my laser cutter (fslaser.com) I create outlines in Sketchup, then export to a SVG file which I open in Inkscape. Then in Inkscape I can print to the laser cutter. The problem is sketchup creates everything in small line segments. So if I have a create a circle, I might have 48 small line ...

I can get the wood myself, I actually have some. The problem is Ponoko doesn't have a big enough size and you can't send them material. They try to be very efficient by only using certain sizes and only from their suppliers, which I understand. The project is unique, it's a part for a radio control ...

I have a project where I need some 1/8 (3.2mm) birch plywood laser cut. I was going to use Ponoko, but when I selected the 1/8 plywood, the only size they had was their P1 size (181mm x 181mm), I need P2 (384 x 384mm). Are there are services like Ponoko that can do this? i did some Google searching ...
