    My mind is blown, I didn't even know you could duplicate objects etc. using the spacebar. You already get a thumbs up

    • @christhorney
      @christhorney Рік тому +6

      Spacebar is like a copy paste, making a unique element, if you use C it clones them instead, then Amy change you make to the original will automatically apply too all the clones, both super useful shortcuts. So for example if you make a fancy star, then clone it and put say 10 fancy stars in the sky, if you want to make a change to the colour gradient or whatever you only have to do it on the 1 and it will apply to all, obviously this can be a pain sometimes too if you don't want it to apply to all so I only use clone in certain instances otherwise I use spacebar, ctrl C ctrl v, or ctrl D to duplicate, duplicate can be good because it places the new object directly above the old, so you can use outset and page down to lower ot being the original to get perfect offset background that stays pointy and doesn't go all rounded and still like using linked or dynamic offset

    Thanks for the video. I love that new feature, it saves a lot of time. In the case of your figure, at min.2:00 approx, the also new function of repeating the last step makes the process faster.

    Yes! this tool is amazing! it is almost like Illustrator's shape builder tool, which was a huge time saver in that program. Honestly, that tool was the only thing preventing me from fully transitioning to Inkscape, but now that's not a problem anymore! can't wait to see what other things they add to Inkscape to make it even better :D

      This kind of response is why we spend so much effort getting shape builder into Inkscape 1.3, and I'm so happy it's a hit.

    Somewhat of a niche usecase, but this is the holy grail feature to make complex icons to use as a font. Insta-removes all the intersection errors, pretty awesome.

    Any chance you can demonstrate how to create a wallet patter with stitch holes or stitch lines that could be used with a laser to cut the leather. I have searched everywhere and not a single video for Inkscape plenty for AI though 😢

    • @LogosByNick

      Check the Inkscape Preferences menu to see if there's a setting that automatically converts text to paths and disable it.

  • @wimdg4230
    @wimdg4230 Рік тому

    Nice tip.
    1:05 - I would expect you'd have execute 'object to path' first, before you can execute the 'flatten' operation, though...?

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  Рік тому +3

      You don't have to convert it to a path any more in these later versions of Inkscape. The software already knows and does it for you. It works with text objects too.

      @doctormo Рік тому +1

      We don't know, because... as a developer for Inkscape, *we* don't know all the features and keep on stumbling on them in the code. Did you know you can wiggle the hue saturation and lightness around using the tweak tool? I didn't until I had to fix it last week.

    2:08 I didn't understand how did you make copies by pressing the spacebar. I've tried it but it didn't copy anything. I can only do this by pressing CMD + D on Mac (maybe CTRL + D on other computers).
