character deleted ofter applying 'Difference'
Hello, I am trying to get some text to fit within a cone, sort of a 'sand-clock' where each letter gradually gets smaller to a point and then it increases. I do this: 1) select the text 2) Path -> Object to Path (Shift+CTRL+C) 3) Path -> Break Apart (Shift+CTRL_K) Then for each charecter with hole in them select the interior and the exterior and apply Difference. Here is the problem, on some characters such as CAPITAL 'A' or LOWERCASE 'p' when I select it and apply the Difference (CTRL+-) the character is deleted. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Norman
You don't need to difference them, just join them back together (ctrl+k)
The reason it's disapearing is probably either selection order or z order, can't remember without looking which drives what gets subtracted from what. Think the hole needs to be on top.
Cheers
John
