Re: [Inkscape-user] Embed objects as links?

I'd like to find out if there's a way that these improvements can be propagated to all of our combined icons without having to manually copy-and-paste. Basically, is there a way to embed an object as a link? And then have future edits build from there?

Hi. What you are asking about reminds me of 'symbols' in Flash when I used to develop with that software. It was very useful and very powerful. I think the closest you can get in Inkscape is to use a clone of a thing. It will only work within a file, so you must do all your common icons in one file. Draw your penguin, make a clone and then incorporate that clone into other designs. Changing the original penguin (say off-canvas someplace) will change all the clones.
