@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.

Techie Thomas I need your help! Can you help me create a polygon and I need the sides all of them 1.50 inches wide. Im trying to make a hot water heat element socket.
@TechieThomasDFW Жыл бұрын
AAH! I had this great idea to start making content, then I fell off the face of the earth... So sorry about that! I know you don't need this NOW (a year later), but I'll throw this out there anyhow! What you're looking for a some quick math! You say polygon, do you mean 6 sided, 8 sided, 24 sided??? Here's the gist of what you'd need: I'm going to assume it's a polygon w/ an even number of sides for this example... If you want a slice with 1.5" sides, then you cut that in half, you're dealing with leg "a" being 0.75" long and it's opposite angle = 180/sides... You this formula: 2*(1/(TAN(180/SIDES)/0.75)) This uses the TAN(ANGLE) = Opposite/Adjacent to solve for the radius of the circumscribed circle, then multiplies it by 2 to get the width of the polygon (flat-to-flat). If your polygon is a 6-sided polygon you'd put the following into your calculate: 2*(1/(Tan(180/6)/0.75)) = 2.5981... This should be the width of your polygon from side-to-side... Just draw a polygon with the sides to the left/right of the image, then scale the polygon to this width! If you get a weird negative number, you're calculator is dealing in radians and you need to add a little bit inside the TAN() bit to convert it to degrees... 2*(1/(Tan((180/6)*pi/180)/0.75)) Just replace the 0.75 with half your required flat side width and replace "6" with the number of sides in your polygon... Good luck!

@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".

Make sure the smaller circle is on top of the larger circle. Inkscape will always subtract the top path from the bottom path.

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.

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.
