Hi,
yesterday I discovered a post at comp.graphics.apps.gimp entitled "Learn from XARA" (see here:
http://groups.google.de/group/comp.graphics.apps.gimp/browse_thread/thread/f...
and - the "I-know-better-than-you-guys" attitude of the initial poster aside -, (as well as the fact that comparing GIMP & XARA is like comparing apples & oranges), I wonder if anyone tried to do this kind of complex technical drawing (of cars, etc.) that is being displayed at the XARA web site (http://www.xara.com/gallery/), using Inkscape?

P.S.: Apologies for the long URL; hopefully it doesn't get broken!

I know that some people are extraordinarily good at drawing with Inkscape, and cars/autos are a favourite subject. I have tried this a few times and I find it very difficult to be as precise and patient as is needed! This link goes to some of my stuff, all the drawings are Iinkscape (a few had minor final touches in the GIMP).

You will see what I mean from my drawing of part of a car - the lines are all wavy! (But I have started using the bezier tool since that time.) I think most of the folk doing that sort of drawing at the DeviantArt site use Illustrator.
