Hi, http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.37 "Paths can be inset or outset (i.e., contracted or expanded orthogonally to the path in each point). You can do simple inset/outset of a path, or you can create a dynamic offset object that you can adjust interactively using the node tool. Moreover, a dynamic offset object can be linked to its original path so that editing the path will have the offset updated automatically." http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.39 "The new Clone command (Alt+D) creates a copy of an object which can be moved, scaled, rotated, or skewed independently, but which updates its shape, fill, stroke, and other properties from the original object when that is changed. The Unlink Clone command (Shift+Alt+D) cuts the link between the clone and its original, while Select Original (Shift+D) lets you find out which object this clone is linked to. Via Inkscape Preferences, you can control the behavior of clones when their original is moved or deleted." As for "linked copy": isn't it the same as "linked clone"? Google tells me so: http://www.google.com/#q=inkscape+%22linked+copy%22 Arpad Biro
