Are you *sure* it's SHIFT-8/9? I've just enabled a Swedish keyboard layout on my (Linux) machine here, and that gives me "(" and ")". If I use ALTGR-8/9 I get "[" and "]", and that also works to rotate objects and nodes. (ALTGR is the key labelled "Alt G...

On my UK keyboard they're the keys after "P" on the QWERTYUIOP row. It might be worth trying SHIFT-8 and SHIFT-9 on your keyboard, or perhaps whatever keys are to the right of your top row of letters. If you let us know what keyboard layout you have, someone might be able to give you a mo...

I haven't read every word of this thread, but I scanned through and didn't notice any mention of the approach I usually use for rotating part of a path (note step 3 in particular): 1) Use :tool_node: to select the nodes you wish to rotate 2) Use the "[" and "]" keys to rotate. H...

-Insert what brynn said here- Out of what I understood there, I learned nothing new really, it took a while, but drubans post made me understand this too. ...Or did I miss anything? With a "soon to be developed" dynamic blocks feature you could do like rigging bones in blender too. Huh? W...

Huh? I got the pivot to show up now, I don't know what the difference was that fixed it, but it does show up. There seem to be a small new obstacle now again though. Is there any way to keep the pivot in the same spot even if I deselect and select it again? No. It's a litlle problem, because there ...

I see how that would solve it, but I don't have an origo/pivot when I select the nodes. =/

Is there any way to achieve the goal to only rotate a part of an object? I need to have two objects stuck together, but I also need to be able to rotate the other part without touching the first part. I want to create a poseable stickman to create comics with, a regular stickman, not one with a body...

Well no, you can't automatically make a multiple selection in one click. The software is not that sophisticated. It seems like your problems are more or less solved, from your response. I don't have a lot of confidence in it, since there were no illustrations. A lot of mistakes can happen with only...

@brynn, thank you for the answers, I got some useful information out of your post. But unfortunately my lack of vector experience made it a bit hard to describe the problems I was having, I'll try clarifying again. 1. Very helpful, thank you, after remaking the prototype for a third time I seem to h...

So, I downloaded inkscape today, I've never understood a program so easily without tutorials before. I suppose it's because I've worked a bit with PS, Gimp and Maya before. But I've never really done vectors. Even though I got used to it pretty quickly, I had a few problems. I picked this program as...
