Re: [Inkscape-devel] NEW: node sculpting
I forgot to mention one important application of node sculpting: Twisting text. Just convert your text to path, select all or some of the nodes and Alt+drag one of them. I have updated the screenshot to demonstrate that:

Absolutely astonishing. Excellent stuff... but how are we supposed to get any WORK done now? :)

I would like to use this great tool, but I don't know how to convert text to path with inkscape. And I can't download the screenshot - it loads extremly slow and stops after a while.

Ctrl+Shift+C

Yes, sourceforge is like that sometimes. The only thing we can do is wait.

I got it :-)
Now I tried to make something like you did it here: http://hagoschaos.de/test/IS.html , image 1 But when I follow the instructions and drag one of the selected nodes, only one letter changes, not al together - like in image 2
I am doing often this: http://hagoschaos.de/test/IS.html , image 3, with Gimp, but since the text doesn't remain editable after the transformation, I would like to do something like it with Inkscape, expecting that the text will remain editable. I thought it will be possible with node sculpting, but up to now I didn't find a way.

Hi!
Recently I have been working on some logos/fonts and found it troublesome to maintain angles for keeping non 90 degree lines parallel. Same for keeping segments same lenght or in specific ratios to each other.
Now CAD style dimensioning would be a bit much to ask ;) But the following should be relatively straightforward and good enough: - Display of the distance between 2 selected nodes - Display of the angle of a line segment relative to a vertical line (just like happens now in the statusbar if you hold ctrl while using the beziere tool) - Display of the angle between 2 adjacent line segments defined by 3 selected nodes. - The same for curves, based on a "virtual" straight line between the nodes. - Numerical entry for all these cases
Now I wonder if the controls should be on the toolbar, right after the current node commands, or a new dialog, perhaps?
Being able to move a node while keeping the angle of one of its segments fixed (you could say: keeping the node congruent to the original segment, I guess) would also be nice. The only sensible way ui-wise I can think of, would be having a "Keep angle" toggle per segment, though.
Best, Thorsten Wilms

That's because you need to update to the latest svn. It changes almost every day.

Unfortunately it will only remain editable as path, not as text. SVG does not allow us to apply non-affine transformations to arbitrary objects.

Path -> Object to Path

Indeed, the sourceforge.net sever seems very unresponsive
