[Inkscape-user] Intersection of rectangle and traced object

Hello,

from the png export of an mask file I vreated a path object by using the buitin tracing function. This works great.

I now have to show certain areas of the file only. For this I created a rectangle and used the "intersection" routine. This operation works in principle, but there are some side issues. The rectangle has the outer lines with 2mm, whereas the traced object has 0.282mm. The final object after the intersection has also 2mm line which is to coarse for showing certain details. Is this behaviour intented?

version 0.46devel from 22102007

Ciao, Frank
