Hello Pierre,
Dear all, I am new to Inkscape, and I'm very much in the discovery phase.
I'm trying to understand how snapping works (I am aware of the snap
controls bar, of the snap tab in the preferences, and of the snap tab in the document's properties). It seems to work all right when creating a new object. However no snapping happens when moving an existing object. This behavior is very counter-intuitive to me. In GIMP for instance when snapping is enabled it works when moving objects too.
Is this the normal behavior ? If yes, how can I do precision work when
copy-pasting objects (I need to draw a timeline, with 120 rectangles, one for each month for 10 years) ?
Looks like I always miss the on-goings of the userlist :) It sounds like what you'd like to do might be better suited using the rows and columns docker. You find it in menu "Object>Rows and Columns" The way I do it is create a rectangle, duplicate the rectangle 11 times (I press CTRL+D 11 times), this gives me 12 rectangles in total,before I select all 12 rectangles, I choose the spacing between each rect (I think you can only specify distance in px for now)and input the row to count to 1 and it automagically gives me 12 columns. I group the resulting squares and again duplicate it 9 times, then drop my column count to one and it gives me 10 rows.
Voila, 15 secs later my grid of squares.
I hope this helps you...
Judah
Thank you very much in advance for your help. Pierre.
