- Learn how to make accurate insets (or outsets) in Inkscape. This process is often used to make decorative borders, create paths for stitching, or offset for the kerf of your cutting tool.

This solved EXACTLY the problem I was trying to solve, thank you! I was at a dead-end and thinking of a much harder way to achieve what you just showed.
I'm so glad to hear it helped! Happy making!
Thank you for explaining this and in such a clear, perfectly paced way!
I'm so glad to hear it was helpful!
You should def make more videos. This was probably one of the easiest to understand tutorials I have watched in a while. Thanks.
Thanks, bud! I'm glad it was helpful. If you have questions you'd like to see in a video, send them my way!
Best method I found online. Thank you very much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, this is so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
It worked! We understand each other!
I was here for a refresh.🙂
Thank you for this video. I was very helpful. What I learned is a circle or fully connected object is a bit different from segmented lines that may not inter connect. For Example the intersecting lines will still stay connected after you break apart and will have to indicate to the NODE to break apart so their is a separation. So, a solid object that is encased is different from objects that are not encased.
Thank you for your comment. It confirmed why I was having troubles. I was trying to get a perfect square 1/4" smaller than another. I discovered that if you select the square, do Object to Path, then Path to Stroke, then Break Apart it will work!
Just discovered this video. My goal is to make multi color Infusible Ink images with my Cricut, but by using the PENS (clamp A) instead of cutting the "vinyl" I want to create paths to "color in" the colored 'areas' (I was hoping there was a "pattern fill" sort of option, but creating offset insets will probably work too)
Thank you for your tutorials 👍🏻👍🏻 but I would like to know if is possible to United to vector drawings together????
Thank you for the kind words! I could interpret your question a few ways, so I'll try to answer all those ways. If you're looking to combine two vector shapes (like a rectangle and a triangle to make a house shape), you're looking for the Union command under the Path menu. If you just want two pieces to move together, you want the Group command under the Object menu. If you'd like to combine two files, then open one of them and select the Import command under the File menu. I hope that helps!

Yes thank you so much I really appreciate it my best wishes for your great tutorials 👍🏻👍🏻
how can you make two lines parallel?
i'm new to inkacape and would like to know how to do 2 insets from the outside body shape of a electric guitar . first inset distance is .375. the second is .571 both from the orig guitar body shape. thanks.great tutorial
Thanks! To do that you'd have to use this tutorials a couple of times. You'll want to set the stroke style to double the inset distances and then delete the extra one. The trick will be keeping track of which one is which, so I recommend changing the colors each time you make insets to keep track of things.
thanks
and compare to corel draw "contour tool" this is complete bullshit
Well, you're certainly entitled to that thought. But I just did a quick search and Corel Draw is $269. Inkscape is free. Free. Plus, lots of folks put in the time to make videos like this one. I appreciate the program AND this channel.
