[solved] Exporting files

Postby alistair2018 » Fri Sep 14, 2018 5:04 pm

I have a problem with Inkscape. I am trying to export a PNG file that I have created and then use in Gimp but it no longer working. I have had success in the past but now I'm getting an error message. Attached is a screenshot.

Thanks

Set the Area tab at the top to 'Page' or 'Drawing' or 'Selection' instead of 'Custom' (you're currently exporting a PNG image of 0x0 size.

Thank you got it working now. I'm a bit rubbish with graphic programs to be honest. Thanks anyway
