I'm new to Inkscape, so if this is a dumb question please be gentle with me ...
Is there any way of having predefined patterns available for a drawing? Here's my scenario:
- I have a room plans drawn in a CAD application - I generate SVG by printing through the SVGmaker print driver - I'd then like to be able to apply patterns to objects in the room plans without having to import each object and then convert it to a pattern
If there's no intrinsic way to do this in Inkscape at present, am I right in thinking that it should be feasible to pre-process the SVG file and include the appropriate pattern definitions within it before I open it in Inkscape?
Thanks

Yes, you can create the pattern definitions in an otherwise empty SVG file and place it in the system wide templates directory. If you want it to be the default template that is opened when you run Inkscape name it "default.svg".
