Hello again, I cannot find a Subtract . I am using the 0.91 version, in case names are changed. I see Exclusion, but that doesn’t cut a hole in it. It just makes it white.

Check out this page for more details on how to do that: https://imagesbyheatherm.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/inkscape-path-operation... (You might have to select the rect objects and then use the "Paths>object to path" menu item before any path operations will work though) On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 9:57 AM, <pkappetein@...475...> wrote: Hi, I am new to Inkscape, and following some nice tutorials on the web..
