I wouldn't have minded using Linux, but I still don't have mine talking to my favorite printer. I did find this utility that got the job done: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141842 It has about the nicest UI for this type of thing I've seen with plenty of control over the paper orientation and overlap. If they ever do integrate such a feature for native svg files, I'd like to see something like this. Unfortunately it requires the use of an intermediate bit mapped file (PNG is ok). By default Inkscape exports bitmaps at 90 dpi. You will probably want to increase that (from the Misc tab on Inkscape Preferences dialog) to something closer to your printer resolution, but the file sizes grow quite fast. Output goes to a PDF file. I hope someone finds this useful. Bob M

Printing Large Documents
by Marchese Family 20 Dec '05

Is it possible to print canvases that are larger than the printer's paper? I have several drawing on "tabloid" sized canvases that I would like to print on two (or more with some overlap) pieces of US letter sized paper. This is also known as print tiling and I even found an RFE on it: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=967795&group_id=9… Unfortunately it doesn't look like any action has been taken. Does anyone know of a work around? Thanks, Bob Marchese

Hi, Sorry don't mean to nag if this has been discussed before, but why are people allowed to attach files on this mailinglist? Why can't they just link to the files like on other lists? For example I only have 30MB space, it fills up pretty quickly with 680KB-lists (and atleast my client shows the attachments like text, having it as a link would save time checking it out too). What are your thoughts on this? Best regards Emil

Connectors and grouped objects, etc.
by Phil Endecott 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

Dear All, I'm continuing in my attempts to draw block diagrams using Inkscape's new features, and I've just encountered some odd behaviour with connectors and grouped objects. I have a rectangle with a text element on top of it. I want to draw arrows between these blocks using connectors. There are a couple of ways that I can do it: I can group the text with the rectangle, and use the center of the group as the anchor for the connector, or I can leave them ungrouped and use the center of the rectangle. If I use the center of the group the problem is that the connector becomes detached if I ever ungroup it. Ungrouping is not unusual; although I can edit the text without ungrouping, I need to ungroup in order to reposition the text within the rectangle. If I use the center of the rectangle for the anchor, the connector seems to become disconnected if I group the rectangle and the text. There are also problems with connectors and snap. It looks as if an un-anchored connector end does not obey any snap rules, or the limited-direction feature that the line tool has when you hold down ctrl while dragging. Also, "Select All" followed by "Transform - Move" seems to not move the connectors. Are these known issues? Is this code evolving in CVS? Cheers, --Phil.
