can't save as dxf
by Benjamin Huot 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

When I try saving a plain SVG file into DXF format, Inkscape locks up on me. This happens with .45.1 on my Mac PowerPC G4 1.33 GHz w/ 1GB RAM 10.4.11 w/ 11 GB free and with the 27 October autopackage version on Xubuntu Linux 7.10 with Celeron D 2.93 GHz with 512 MB RAM. No other problems.

Fedora Package Maintainer
by Ted Gould 28 Nov '07

Hello, Denis Leroy e-mail me off list and mentioned that he's no longer interested in maintaining the Fedora package of Inkscape. If there is any other Fedora packagers that are willing to pick it up, that'd be great. I'm not sure of other Fedora lists that this should be posted to, but if people could forward it to those that would be great. Thanks, Ted

I'm using Inkscape to make Wireframes for websites. Are there any Tutorials for this on the web? Any tips to create Interaction Designs etc? I tried to make one some months ago, but would like to re-edit it: http://iuri.art.br/blog/index.php/archive/wireframe-and-prototype-with-inks… iuri

what is the best way to include Inkscape graphics into LaTeX documents?
by Albert Cardona 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

I have several options: 1 - export as a large png and then include that: works, but it's not optimal (not scale-free, for instance) 2 - export as eps: somehow, I can't ever get the graphics to fit in the figure block that I create. The image is always way too big (i.e. it's not properly scaled to fit in). 3 - export as pdf: same problem as eps. Would it help to define a page border or limits that exactly wraps the entire drawing? My drawings are usually larger than the page limits. If so, it would be great to have such a checkbox when exporting to pdf or eps: create page border to fit drawing. Any help appreciated.

including art in a text block?
by Tom Davidson 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi all, I'd like to include svg art in a text block. Something like: A-->B ...where '-->' is an arrow that I draw using the line tool. I would like that art to flow with text, staying always between the A and the B, even when I change the text. Is this possible under inkscape? (Note I don't just want to use arrows, so the solution of using a font with an arrow character won't address my problem). Do I need to create a custom font with the relevant art in it, or is there an easier solution? Thanks very much! -Tom

export to bitmap not working
by tj 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

I just installed 0.45 and I have a problem. I tried exporting my page, a flyer, to pgn, but it did not work. My flyer has many different text objects and one imported jpeg. Now, when I exported it to bitmap the resulting png it was totally black EXCEPT for the imported jpeg, it was correct. But again, the rest of the page is totally black. Why is the export not working correctly? tj

Re: [Inkscape-user] SVG Viewer
by D. Jones 25 Nov '07

Maarten van der Velde In Windows XP I see them as real regular thumnails in the Windows Explorer. Problem is, they don't scale. So, using a 128x128 thumbnail size, my 32x32 icons stay insignificantly small in the upper left corner. But it is great help browsing them. I installed the player, but I only see the svg icons and not thumbnails. Also each time I tried the player it kept crashing. With the message of Renesis player has encountered and error and needs to close. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.
