Thank you again for the help...could not have done it without you!

Thank you! I'll give it a go.

I want to flow words around an OBJECT, not inside one. I placed an image inside a frame and created my text and flowed it, that worked. I can get it to flow but resizing it and releasing it is my main problem. I've been messing with this feature for 2 days and have finally gotten a couple of nice de...

Found the answer and step by step instructions for adding one statement! See the 7th post. YEAH

Hello, I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion and Inkscape 0.48. If you are having problems with pattern on path an alternative is to use Path/Path Effect Editor/Interpolate Sub Path. Here is a video that may get you started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAOJHvcxLmc Here is what I did with your design...

I got a new computer and now my Inkscape 0.48-2 will not do patern on path. In general all other features are working that I've tried. I've downloaded and reinstalled the latest vs of Inkscape 0.48-1 since I can't find anywhere that there is a vs for Mountain Lion. I don't remember EVER having to do...

Thanks Brynn, Carolyn on the Inlscape Cutting Design forum is always challenging us with her great tutorials and last week she did both Extrude and Twist. I just took both tutorials to heart and did this design. Come on by the forum and see with everyone else did, just amazing stuff. We'd love to se...

Created in Inkscape 0.48 on Mac. A star was extruded (extension/generate from path/extrude) and then eggbot extension TWIST to get the fine detail. You are never quite sure what you are going to get but this turned out well and can be recolored. http://www.4shared.com/photo/h3JfxNEG/StarTWISTjpgPS.h...

I have several video tutorials on my blog for using Tiled Clones. The latest on is on patterns with color. I may not have the best or elegant way to accomplish it but it does work. check it out if you are a DIYer. http://papasuecreative.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html I'd post a picture of the ...

I also have been playing with tiled clones. There are several videos on my Blog. I may not have the best way since it is a lot of trial and error, for me, so far. Anyhooo. Here's a link the the newest video on my Blog. Scrolling down you'll see the other ones. http://papasuecreative.blogspot.com/201...

Here's my Happy New Year Card. I'm still learning and playing with manipulating drawings and nodes, Filters for the pattern in the dress and the speckled background. Downloadable files on my Blog if you want to play! http://papasuecreative.blogspot.com/2011/01/mannequins-create-decorate-cut-inkscape...

I've done a few and posted them on my Blog. I'll keep watching and hope you come back and share your designs. I did these more for learning about drawing and node manipulation but I think they came out ok. Files to download if you want. http://papasuecreative.blogspot.com/2011/01/mannequins-create-d...

This forum was started about a month ago. Lots of great Inkscape for Cutter users here. Several of the members use the Silhouette and a few are Mac users to. Come on over I'm sure someone can help.

Follow up question. I got the information about changing the Simplify Threshold to 0.0001 or 0.0002 from two crafters, one in Australia and the other in England. They both use mm as the unit of measure. I use inches and have set my Ink preferences to default to inches. Now that I have reset to 0.002...

Thank you yet again. I don't see well and I guess I forgot/didn't see that the original number had been 20 not 00.

I really appreciate you!!!!

I changed the Inkscape Preferences/Misc/Simplification Threshold from 0.0000 to 0.0001 after someone told me that it would further reduce the nodes in a design. I'm a cutter and less nodes is better. NOW I get more nodes (sometimes double the number) with just one application of simplify. I've tried...

There is a new forum started up by Carolyn (cuttingtime.com) just for using Inkscape for a variety of cutters and software that drives them like MTC, SCAL etc. Come join the fun...lots of newbies and experts to work with. http://inkscapecuttingdesign.freeforums.org Susan http://papasuecreative.blogs...

Do you have the latest version of x11? I"m running 2.5.1 w/ SnowLeopard on my Mac Mini.

SUV - Perfect....your instructions not only worked but the detail you put into them is much appreciated!!! I had tried everything I knew about opening apps, double clicking, extracting, etc. and it never occurred to me to right click to open the dmg and from there I moved right along and I am a VERY...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I want to change the program defaults from px to inches for starters, I want to set my my grid to inches and save that default. I think I remember that 046 or 045 was a "folder" with files inside, this is just ink.app it only opens the program. If ...

I have a dmg of Ink 0.47 on my Mac with Snow Leopard. I cannot change the system defaults (like px to in). I have no Inkscape program folder, just Inkscape.app.

How can I get the full package so I can reset the defaults and save them?

I have a new video tutorial on how to use the BEND Path Effect Editor to make wavy text in Inkscape 0.47

It is on YouTube here:

Comments appreciated.

Can you tell me which version of Inkscape you are using and which version of SCAL? It appears that you may not have properly converted the inner parts of the key. If you can post the file or email it to me I'll take a look once I know which programs your are using. Ink. 47 has different requirements...

Hi, ran across this plea for help whilst looking for help myself.

I downloaded your .svg file and opened in both Inkscape 0.47 and SCAL 2.013 and both files looked just fine. So I guess I cannot help. Nice file tho.

I design files for "cutters" and being able to erase small parts of objects is important. There are lots of differences between those who want to design for the WEB and those who design for cutting pieces for craft projects. I developed this video to HELP. http://papasuecreative.blogspot.c...
