Intro and first question

Postby mnich » Tue May 10, 2011 9:33 am

Just discovered this great program. I am now retired after a 40 year career as a draftsman>cad tech>civil designer>engineer. Over 20 years in AutoCad and MicroStation. Now at home without, I've been looking for an affordable program, and found it!

Question. I did a search, hope I didn't overlook a answer. Can text be converted to a raster image?

thanks
Martin

Welcome to the forum!

Any object or a group of objects can be copied into a bitmap using the Make a Bitmap Copy option (Alt + B). You can control its dpi under Inkscape Preferences (Shift + Ctrl + P) > Bitmaps.

You can always export the drawing or any part of the drawing with Export Bitmap option (Shift + Ctrl + E).
