That did it!&nbsp; Just what I was looking for... I guess I should&#39;ve gone through a basic tutorial first showing me the tools :P&nbsp; I appologize for that.<br><br>Thank you very much.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 12:19 AM, ricardo lafuente &lt;<a href="mailto:bollecs@...2545...">bollecs@...2545...</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

&gt; I&#39;m an Inkscape newbie (but not to vector graphics GUIs). &nbsp;I&#39;ve found<br>
&gt; a great (and short) tutorial on simulating engravings with Inkscape (<br>
&gt; <a href="http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.46-engraving1.png" target="_blank">http://www.inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.46-engraving1.png</a>).<br>
&gt; I&#39;m sure most of you have read/seen it, so I hope someone can help me<br>
&gt; out on this. &nbsp;I&#39;ve been following all the steps without any trouble<br>
&gt; up to &quot;Thinning/thickenning&quot;. &nbsp;When I press ALT and drag the cursor<br>
&gt; (either with Wacom pen or mouse) I get a new path, no thickenning or<br>
&gt; thinning anywhere... I&#39;ve tried it right after drawing the paths,<br>
&gt; after unselecting and selecting them, after unselecting and selecting<br>
&gt; just one, with the mouse, the pen, the eraser,... getting always de<br>
&gt; same result. &nbsp;On the status bar I get the hint inviting me to press<br>
&gt; ALT+drag, but won&#39;t work for me...<br>
&gt;<br>
<br>
</div>the same happens to me here. Not sure what could be wrong with the ALT<br>
combination (devs, help us :)<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
&gt; Any clues on what&#39;s going on and why can&#39;t I use this promising tool?!<br>
<br>
</div>...you can get the promising functionality using the various modes of<br>
the Tweak tool right below the node editing tool (Shift+F2)!<br>
