I can't erase

Postby moshpirit » Sun Feb 16, 2014 11:04 pm

First thing: I'm new on Inkscape. Second Thing: please, excuse my engish, I'm working on it, but I know my grammar is so bad, I invite you to correct me if you see I writte a mistake.

Ok, my error is that I can't erase the world symbol from Iceweasel, but I don't know why.
The error in english says something like: One of the objects is not a route, It can't be realized a boolean operation

Welcome aboard!

Those objects are grouped together.
You could try ungrouping it (Ctrl+Shift+G), or enter the group (Ctrl+Enter/double clicking) to edit/delete parts of it.

Attached is a modified version of your svg. Is that what you were after?

This is how vector drawings work -or at least in inkscape/with svg-s.

By not entering a group, you can only see and modify the group itself, as a separate object, and not it's parts.
