Leigh, I still remember when you did this video for me, using the sugar skull I wanted to manipulate. Woman, you gained a stalker/friend that day! It was so completely unexpected and far more appreciated than you’ll ever know. Thank you my friend!
I think this puts me on the right path, but I'm not sure. I need to be able to divide vectors in a drawing that are different line thicknesses. I'm using them in CNC routing, and need to use different bits for different line thicknesses. Does that sound like something that can be done with the procedure you described here? Thanks.
Jim Hester, I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Feel free to email me your file and explain. I think it would make more sense to me if I had an example. Sleighwhitaker@ Gmail.com
One problem i always find when i edit an image is when i insert it and remove fill and put stroke then i have 2 strokes around the image. I use inkscape for laser cut so it passes 2 times around and this way it burns the wood. Instead should be clean and the stroke must be just 1 line .so i remove it manualy line to line . But too much time consuming.is there any way i can select one stroke around it? And leave the other one?
Are you doing stroke to path? That would create a double line and cut twice. Maybe email me an example of what you are talking about. sleighwhitaker@gmail.com
@@snarlla thanks for the answer. I will email you. Undortunately i am not an expert designer to explain ...also my english are not very good. So i will email with pics and hope you get my point ;)
Hi Lee, I have a simple question that in Illustrator, I know how to do this but, what I want is a series of lines such as on a school paper page. Equal spacing with equal length. In AI, I would draw one line, tell it "Array' and how many. So, how to do this in Ink?
Hi Larry, there are a few ways to do this that I know of, and probably more that I don't. You could try drawing one line at the top and one line at the bottom (or duplicate and move so that they are same size). Then select both lines and go to >extensions >generate from path >interopolate. Then tell it how many interpolation steps. Since both lines are the same it should make that many copies evenly spaced. You'd need to go back and delete the originals and ungroup the interpolated shapes if you want to do anything further with them. Another way to do it would be to make tiled clones. You'd have to watch a video on that as it's too complicated to explain here in the comments. There are quite a few videos out there, just search youtube for 'inkscape tiled clones'. It's a ton of fun to play with. Yet another way, especially if you wanted a defined spacing between them, would be to make the lines using one of the above methods and then use >object >arrange to open an arrange dialogue box. The Arrange box is a little fiddly if you aren't wanting to do the same number of rows and columns, but uncheck equal height and equal width, check 'set spacing' and set the spacing as you want (in this case you'd change the y value). Then you'd set columns to 1 and rows to however many lines you have. On mine I have to do it in that order (columns, then rows, or the numbers revert back to the original array- must be a bug), then Apply. Anyway, try some variation of those and see if it gets you what you want.

Good information, Leigh! Thanks.
This was great! Simple clear directions.
thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for posting this useful clip.
This technique saved my sanity. Kind of upsetting that it has to be achieved in such a roundabout way
great eye-solation technique
bravo! lol
Thanks for sharing!! Super helpful :)
Thanks,! Exactly what I wanted to know to fix a traced thing.
Awesome! YW :)
OMG Thanks a looooot!!!! It stills works perfectly!!!

OK. It will probably be tonight before I can do it. Thanks.

Wow. Thanks.
This isn't working for my svg image.
Thank yoooooooooooooooou
good info, but too much referencing other commands that added to confusion for someone just learning
The speed of your computer made me cringe
Wow, so sorry to have traumatized you. I hope you recover.
The jerky operation of your brain has the same effect on me.
