Hi, i seem to have some bits missing, On my panel there is no "Snap bar" plus the "Additional Command/Snap/&Tool option down arrows are not there,
Have i dont something by accident or is this normal or perhaps a different version to the pic in the tutorial menu?,
The program froze today, cursor would not work on anything, i switched off and restarted and it seems ok now, Just wondering about these missing options (assumeing they are missing and i'm not being a nob)
By the way i went through all the drop down boxes and the only thing i restored was the rulers i must have accidently disabled,
Ian

hI.

(assuming they are missing and I'm not being a nob)

Which tutorial are you referring to?
Are you sure the snap toolbar are gone? Have a look at the sides & top of the Inkscape window.
The only way (that I know of that is!) to change the layout is to select either Default, Custom, or Wide in the View from the menu bar.

See if this helps?

Does this mean you clicked on show/hide>snap toolbar (putting checkmark next to it) and nothing happened?

Hi guys, thanks for the replys, OK then hopefully this link will show the anatomy of the screen,
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... atomy.html
If you look at the top far right there are 3 "down" arrows on the command/snap/tool bars, i dont have these,
Also i have no snap bar,
I have dropped the box down under "view" and found the rulers not ticked, ticked this and got the rulers back on screen, fine,
However there is no mention of the snap bar, I then dropped down each box under all the menu bar symbols and again no mention of a snap bar. (my tool bar symbols look slightly different to the manual pic but i think it is all present and correct,)
At first i wondered if i had unwitingly hid or deleated it and then wondered if i had a different version (no idea what version i do have im afraid, i downloaded it from a google search for free illustrator/paint programs)
Just thought i'd ask as i dont know how important this missing bar will be when i start trying out some of the basic tutorial from the above manual,
Thanks again, Ian

Sorry guys, ment to add what i have in the drop down box under "view" are these,
1, Commands bar
2, Tool control bar
3, Toolbox
4, Rulers
5, Scrollbar
6, Pallett
7, Status bar

Cheer's, Ian

Could you perhaps go to the dropbox Help/About Inkscape and tell us what does it says in the top right corner?

There are some "bars" missing ,) It should look like this:

So ... I'm guessing it's going to be Inkscape 0.46? It's time to download it again/for the first time, either way....

OK in the top right hand of the "about inkscape" in help box it says "inkscape 0.45.1,built mar 21 2007,
i definatly have the snap missing
Also i notice your menu bar is the same as the pic in Taumjong Bah's manuel, mine reads (from left to right)
File. Edit. View. Layer. Object. Path. Text. Effects. Help. (no Filters or Extensions),

The plot thickens!!! By the way i think i credited the wrong guy with posting the link Taumjongs menu and tutorial, i think it was you, Ii appoligise for that

Hi, it's 0.45 by the looks of things, is that even worse? i wondered of this was down to the version, trust me to get the wrong one! i take it your link there is to the newer version? (not opened the link yet) Thanks for the reply, Ian

OK Guys!!! panic over, my son happened to call round with a scanner for me, and downloaded the new (0.48) version druban kindly linked, It's got the snap bar and all the other bells and wistles so i'm sorted, Thanks again guys for your help, Cheer's, Ian
