Convert stroked path to filled path

Postby ben.rolfe » Fri Sep 21, 2012 3:26 pm

Is there a way to convert a stroked path to a filled path, which looks the same?

At the moment, I am exporting my stroked path to a bitmap, then opening it and using "Trace Bitmap" on it to get the filled path - it works reasonably, but I suspect there is a better way?

Apologies if this question has already been answered - I searched but could not find - thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

I think you might be looking for Path menu > Stroke to Path. :D

Well, when you put it like that, it seems kinda obvious... :oops:

Thanks soooo much, I'm not going to admit just how much time I spent trying to work that out. :)
