Difference operation between group of objects and single object
I have a rectangle, also a group of objects which is the result of creating a small circle and applying scatter extension so it distributes along the rectangle borders.
Then I try to apply the difference operation but doesn't seem to work. If I ungroup and I apply the operation selecting each circle and the rectangle one by one it works but not as a group.
Does Inscape allow to apply the difference operation between a group and a single object ? If it doesn't, some suggestions about how to do that faster ?
PD: I'm trying to achieve something like this: http://howto.nicubunu.ro/inkscape_postage_stamps/
Thanks in advance Guiu Rocafort

Select all the circles and do Path -> Combine so it's just one object, not a group?

Select all circles and press CTRL-PLUS ( plus-sign on the numpad).
CTRL-MINUS works the other way around, substract one object from the other.
