First off, head over to www.cartographersguild.com where I am a commuinity leader. The focus there is primarily fantasy mapping using a variety of tools, including inkscape. I have posted a few examples there that use inkscape.
To answer your question, unce you have an object (or group) just drag it around and stamp copies with the spacebar. You migh also want to search the archive for an extension I wrote to restack groups of objects.
There are very few vector objevts around, so any you are willing to share would be great!

Hello all, At the suggestion of a friend, I have downloaded and installed Inkscape on my home PC running Ubuntu. What I would like to use this program to do is to create maps. The maps in question would be maps of a fantasy world (like what you would find on the inside cover of a copy of The Hobbit). Inkscape looks like it would be able to pull this off fairly well, but I wanted to run the idea by the list to see if anyone had done this before. If so, do you have any suggestions on how to make the experience easier? I figure I can't be the first person to do this, so...
Also, how hard is it to make an object that is reusable? For instance, if I made a really cool graphic that represented a castle, how could I easily reuse it in multiple maps?
Thanks, Will
