Dashed path in inkscape
by Bibi Morris
I am in need of a way to do a dashed path in inkscape. When I use the
stroke to path it shows up on my SVG as a dashed path, but when it
import that to my cutting machine it will cut as a regular path, not one
that has holes in it. What I need is a single line with little pieces
missing on the line. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this in
inkscape?

Printing PDF files - problem
by unknown＠example.com
Inkscape 0.46 Ubuntu 8.1
Does anyone have a suggestion
When I print to file (PDF) the system always produces 2 pages, even if I set the print range at "1"
Is this an Inkscape problem or how Cairo handles the output?
I have tried putting a small image in the centre of the page, just in case something was spilling over, and get the same result
With thanks

Fill pattern and eps export
by Lars Behrens
Hi there,
when exporting to eps (and also to pdf) I lose all the fill patterns in my
drawing. I'm using the standard hatch patterns like "Stripes 1:8" with
Inkscape 0.46. Is there a trick to conserve them?
TIA!
Cheerz,

Hello and some questions about scripting in inkscape
by Rubén Quiñones
Hello all,
I'm a low-level user of inkscape, I just open image files from a
Geographical Information System in svg format, modify them and export to
png/pdf files.
As soon as I realized Inkscape has support to the python language
scriptting, I try making a script that do for itself the frecuently-used
actions I actually do in the files (Just modify some xml attributes of the
same objects and export it to png).
As I don't Know python language (I program in C/C++/vba) , May anyone guide
me where I could get examples for that?
I've just looked for in the inkscape wiki, but I'm a bit lost.
Thanks for your time

Nightly/Testing Builds
by Joshua A. Andler
Hey All,
We seem to be in a bad place with our nightly builds. It would be
excellent if we could have a few volunteers step up to produce nightlies
(or at least builds from every few days).
Anyone who can (or would like to) produce builds for Windows, Linux, and
OSX would be making a great contribution to keeping us on track to
release 0.47 in the near future. If you are interested, please speak up
and we will do what we can to get you producing builds ASAP.
For the record, this is how bad the situation is:
Win32 - April 18th
OSX - March 3rd
Linux - nothing from this year (Autopackages are over a year old)
So again, if lending some CPU cycles and a little time is all you can
do, it is still a LOT for the community.
Cheers,
Josh

Inkscape user profiles - for promoting the 0.47 release
by Donna Benjamin
Hi everyone!
In the lead up to announcing the 0.47 release we are preparing an
announcement to send to user groups, other open source projects and
media outlets.
As part of this, we would like to have some stories from Users to help
bring this to life. A software release on its own isn't very
interesting. It's what people do with that software that really inspires
others to give it a go, and get involved.
So...
Name: This can be your full name, or an IRC nick, etc
Photo: Just a headshot or avatar to identify you, and add colour and
interest to the profile.
Thoughts on Inkscape: What you think about the application, how you
discovered it, what you use it for... etc. (up to 200 words)
Tip: Something you think is cool/nifty/handy/useful, and would like to
share with others about Using Inkscape,
Artwork: an example piece of artwork/diagram/graphic showcasing how you
use Inkscape.
How I did it: Short description of the main tools / techniques used to
create that artwork - optionally with step by step instructions if you
feel like it.
Permission: Give permission for us to use all of the above on the
website (and relevant publications) to promote the upcoming Release of
Version 0.47 License: Creative Commons - Share Alike.
I have created a page on the Inkscape wiki with a template.
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/UserStories047
cheers
