I want to make a svg icon and I need all the icon with the combined paths (compound path). Using "Path > Combine" accomplish what I want with simple figures. But when my icon is composed of many figures, this option deform the figure. Actually i select all the shapes and use "Path > Combine" option, what im doing wrong? exists a procedure to accomplish this?
I attach the original svg file and the (wrong) result svg file after use "Path > Combine" option. The result should be exactly the same icon but with the combined path.
PS: sorry for my bad english

Hi
Convert the stroke to path for all objects before combining.

Re: Combine path (compound path)
it's worked, but that removes the filling of the figure, so I did it in a strange way. What I did was: for each figure, convert stroke to path (Crl + Alt + c) but this removes the filling of the figure, so then combine path (Crl + k) and descompuse again (Crl + Shift + k), that returned two figures (?) both with the fill and ready to use in combination, so just delete one. Then i could take all the figures and combine successfully (Crl + k).
This is the normal process or exists a correct way?

Re: Combine path (compound path)
Usually it works better to have paths closed and filled, with no strokes.
Once you converted strokes to paths on your original image, by breaking apart you can get rid of the previous subpaths making the objects "hollow".
Then you can add objects together (Ctrl++).
Correct way would be harder to tell, how to construct such design accurately.
(There are parts that could be improved.)
