At the top of your Export window there are tabs, as shown here:Įxport drawing - I don't know about you, but when I'm working on a drawing, I generally "store" extras to the side of my page. I actually do this a lot! Exporting your creation can be done three different ways, which I'm sure you already know, but let's clarify it. Exporting images the wrong way (drawing, page, selection). If you forget and things start snapping where you don't want them to, simply press, or, if you have your Snap toolbar active (View >Show/Hide > Snap Controls Bar), you can click on the Toggle snapping on/off button to turn it off.ĥ.

If you unselect the button on the right of your window, the stroke will stay the size you set it, even if you resize your object.Ĥ. When I resized it larger, the stroke changed to 16 px. When I drew the circle below, I set the stroke at 10 px. I actually hadn't thought of this, but you can change the setting on your stroke. not fun! Either delete some nodes, simplify your drawing or break it up into smaller sections that you can work on one at a time.

Items that are grouped won't edit using path operations, and objects that haven't been converted to paths (Path > Object to path) can't be edited either. Trying to perform path operations on objects that aren't paths. In this one, he describes five mistakes that new Inkscape users make. In his channela he has many tutorials for GIMP and Inkscape.
