Duplicating à la Illustrator
by Paul Libbrecht 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Dear Inkscapers, As the tutorial says.... duplicating is one of the most common operations. In illustrator, I had the habit of doing the following which turned out to be quite useful: select something, then alt-drag it... it'll be duplicating. Actually several other places with a duplication "modes" exist. For example all transformations have a "copy" checkbox... That's particularly nifty when combined with Illustrator's "repeat last command". For example one can easily rotate by 45 degrees with copy, then request repeat-last-command 6 more times to get the objects spread around in all 8th of the circle... Making a horizontal sequence of strokes is another example. How does it sound ? paul

shortcut for cloning on windows
by Steffen Glückselig 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hello, I've just noticed that cloning is bound to alt+d. Alt will focus the menu-bar, though. So this shortcut is not usable. best Steffen -- Steffen Glückselig Student of Computer Science @ University of Wuerzburg, Germany Home on the web: http://www.gungfu.de/ Blog 'DenkZEIT': http://www.gungfu.de/facts/ Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

utf8-error
by Steffen Glückselig 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Hello, When starting Inkscape on WinXP I (always) get the message ** (indscape.exe:3984): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() And a dialog pops up. I cannot read the end of that dialog since it is not resizeable but it starts with my 'My Files' ('Eigene Dateien' - in german) - Directory... best Steffen

When i export my .svg document from incscape to .png and watch my .png in other programs like e.g. gqview or others the background of my grapics is filled with grey and white squares. How can i tell incscape to export with white, or other colored background? Witch linux cad- program does incscape work together best? I Have also installed 'qcad' and 'xfig', and i am trying to draw living rooms from upside, and want to transform it in 3D view. It would be great, if i cold import a scanned image into the program, and work with it. best regards : Istvan
