Hi!

I am using Inkscape 0.92.3 running under Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Service Pak 1.

When one snaps a thin rectangle (0.10” h) to a guide, does it position the rectangle above the guide? Below the guide? Or, centered on the guide?

Thank you!

Did you coDearnvert the text to path first? ... Dear Uktrunie, Thank you for your reply. No, I didn't. I thought the video's author only did it to change the text itself.

Hi!

I am using Inkscape 0.92.3 running under Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.

I searched the Web and looked at relevant posts in this forum but I still do not understand the difference between the Alpha Channel and Opacity.

Would someone explain it in plain English?

Thank you!
