You see... I keep failing to get off my duff to make more videos, then I swing back through here and see these comments and it lights a fire under my rear to get back at it! Thank you for the comment & I just want you to know it's all your fault that I'm jumping back in! ;)

I'm new to inkscape. I'm using it for CNC plasma. That Union is what I was looking for. I like the shortcut keys too. Subscribed because I like the way you explain things.

Thank you for the feedback! I know this channel is void of much content, but I'm hoping to build on it this year. I also appreciate the perspective (not enough Inkscape how-to to make sense for folks new to it).

Great video...I'm trying it myself and it's working out except for the snowflakes. I imported a snowflake SVG file but they won't union with the circle. Any ideas?
@TechieThomasDFW3 жыл бұрын
My guess is the imported snowflakes might be grouped paths. If you select JUST the snowflake, look at the bottom status area below the drawing area & see what it says the selected object is (it should say 1 path. If it says 1 group then you need to ungroup it until it's just a path). Once it's a path, you should be able to union/difference it.
@myhoneyshandmade10772 жыл бұрын
odd think. I have a jpeg and traced its outline and put a circle around it. Looks great. I then ran the union command. Now my outline inside the circle is gone. Any thoughts? thanks.

Having an issue with the letter "i". I'd like to keep the dot but make it part of the joined name. Any pointers? Thank you! This video was very helpful.
@TechieThomasDFW2 жыл бұрын
I know this is really late, but... The best bet here is to include another element like one of the snow-flakes near the dot so it can hang on to that bit but still be detached from the body of the "i".

Great tutorial!!! But i have a problem, when i put the 2 circles toghtere like you do on 2:28 they disapear. I can't make the donut. Any Hints?
@TechieThomasDFW3 жыл бұрын
Make sure the smaller circle is on top of the larger circle. Inkscape will always subtract the top path from the bottom path.

Love your video, and I'm new to Inkscape and when typing a "word" I can not get the whole word to move at one time, my question is how in the world do I do that or anyone?
@greghannah8076 Жыл бұрын
Hi I was watching few time and not catch it what you are clicking (your in the screen) when you have the ornament finished and you go to X the fill and put a number in the stroke style it changed whole ornament finished.... what?? I don't understand it at all.... not get it so how? Since I tried to read on CC but you did not say anything how and what is clicking???

Love the video but I can’t see what you are clicking (your in the screen) when you have the ornament finished and you go to X the fill and put a number in the stroke style and yours go completely to what the laser is going to cut. The snowflakes are cut off where they hang over in the inside. What am I doing wrong? I can’t get to the last part! Help!

So sorry about that! I'll make sure to not skip any steps/clicks in my future videos!

Every time i union the word to the shape i loose the word... any help?
@TechieThomasDFW3 жыл бұрын
Sounds like you've got the word on top of a solid shape. Go check out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l750a6V3z7_TeZs.html to see where I do a difference with the 2 large circles to get the "donut" outer ring of the finished design. If you just place the text over the large circle and select union, it's going to combine the solid circle with the overlapping text (which results in just the large circle remaining). Hope that helps! Let me know.

Ouch… Sure, my teaching style isn’t for everyone. But that was just plain rude. I hope your will to live returned after you flipped back to your favorite short-form content creator. Life is too precious to concern yourself with the opinions of those who don’t know you to begin with. Cheers!
