Perspective does nothing

Postby artyshan » Mon Sep 24, 2012 12:24 am

Hi, I'm doing logotype now and i'm trying to apply perspective on a shape but nothing happens.
-shape is converted into path, so is perspective polygon
-perspective polygon has 4 vertexes
-i select only shape and polygon
When i go to effects -> modify path -> perspective, it shows loading dialog for half a second and nothing changes, i still have polygon and unconverted shape.
Please, help!

Welcome to InkscapeForum!

There are 2 important things that must happen, for the Perspective extension to work properly. 1 - The quadrilateral path must be drawn starting with the bottom left corner, and drawing clockwise. 2 - The object to which you want to add perspective must be selected first, and the quadrilateral must be selected last. Here's the manual info: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... erspective :D
