Snap problem
by Abrolag 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

This is something I've been meaning to comment of for ages :? I've been in the habit of grouping objects for schematic components then surrounding them with an invisible bounding box (thinnest possible line with no colour) that is 1mm grid aligned. This has worked perfectly on older versions of Inkscape so I could quickly and precisely position these objects. However with 0.47 the snap behaviour has become extremely difficult to handle. It seems now that every single point in the object will try to act as a snap focus and accurate positioning is a nightmare :( Can anyone suggest a way to get bounding box only snapping? -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

I think so, unless someone else has a better idea. If it's any consolation the scale factor is predictable, you would need to make your original drawing 80% of its current size. Unless Illustrator allows you to change the screen units. Inkscape assumes that the default resolution is 90 dpi. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Export-SVG%3A-Size-doesnt-match-original-file-tp27175… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

printing from inkscape not the expected size
by Gary Hawkins 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hi I'm posting this for a friend so if you need more info I'll have to ask her <grin> My friend has a canon IP5200 printer and when she prints from inkscape the image comes out smaller. For e.g. trying to print and cut a 14 x 28 oblong. All measures up in inkscape, paper set to A4 both in inkscape and the printer, convert to png, print and hey ho.... my oblong has printed out as a 13 1/2 by 27 oblong. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the canon to print at 100%, she does not seem to have a 100% setting or it is not printing at this, I'm not sure which. she is having problems printing direct from inkscape so is exporting to png and printing that as I understand it. Thanks for any help Gaz(UK)

Filters Not Saved with PNG
by knowone 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

I have created a graphic with multiple layers. One of the layers is some text. I have applied a drop shadow filter to the text. When I save the file as PNG, the drop shadow is not saved. I have also tried applying a gaussian blur to the text layer and to the text layer after converting it to an object. The blur is not applied. How can I save the file as PNG with the drop shadow intact? ----- http://couponsdealuxe.com/ Coupons and deals for the wiser miser http://themebot.com/ Free Website Templates find a web layout on Themebot http://iedie.org/ Internet Explorer has got to go bye bye -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Filters-Not-Saved-with-PNG-tp27154938p27154938.html Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

have a look at this pdf. this is how I do it, sorry not to attach it before but had trouble finding it LOL it's not my pdf but this is how I do a scalloped font. you can use your own shape instead of the circle, of course. not sure if the attachment will go to the group but you can find it here. http://cuttingtime.blogspot.com/2010/01/scalloped-fonts-using-interpolate-s… the pdf is at the end of the post.

Ok thank-you you. So, my only solution is a workaround? I am thinking of downscaling the image to fix the bounding box... -- Sent by HTC HD2 ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Alvin Penner <penner@...2467...> Gesendet: Samstag, 16. Januar 2010 17:10 An: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-user] Export SVG: Size doesnt match original file The size difference between the two files is confirmed. The bounding boxes for the two .svg files are given below. Illustrator - width="194.284px" height="75.238px" Inkscape - width="242.855" height="94.04725" The ratio of the sizes is exactly 1.25 which equals 90/72, which equals the size ratio of a point to a pixel. It looks as though Inkscape has probably assumed that the original dimensions were given in points, and has probably converted them to pixels by multiplying by 90/72, which is a reasonable thing to do. (However, I know nothing about Illustrator, so I don't know if the native units in Illustrator are points or not.) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Export-SVG%3A-Size-doesnt-match-original-file-tp27175… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Inkscape-user mailing list [Die ursprüngliche Nachricht wird nicht vollständig eingefügt.]
