I have only begun to work on inkscape and was using version .46 I did a few drawings making spirals and was really pleased with result, even for a beginner like me it was quite easy. Then I saw there was a new version and thought it mus be better and installed it yesterday. Now I cannot seem to draw spirals any more. When I click on the pencil and then on spiro path and smoothing at 100pct I can only get straight lines whatever I do. Is it a setting I need to change ? I do hope someone can help me or I will need to uninstall the new version and go back to the old one.
cheers, Jo
Have you tried setting the smoothing to 25%. 100% may be a bit extreme. Also, there is an actual spiral command too. Perhaps that will help you.
