I can't answer your specific question, but since you said you just want to separate the objects: scaling them all individually is what I usually do to that end.

Hi all,

Path->Inset slightly pulls back the edges of a path. It shaves a tiny
bit off the edges of the path. Path->Outset does the opposite: It moves
the edges a little bit outward. Neither is a proportional grow or
shrink.

Anyway, I'm trying to apply Path->Inset to a bunch of objects very
close to each other, just to give a little more visible separation. The
trouble is, I can't find an adjustment for how much you want to inset,
and even one application of Path->Inset trims off far too much from the
edge.

Does anyone know how to set the amount that gets taken away from the
edge when you Path->Inset?

Thanks,
