A New Inkscape Pictorial

[Lucille]

Thank you Lucille for this brilliant tutorial , tried it out to-day, its great, saves a lot of messing, it cuts perfectly from inkscape, your a genius.

Thanks for letting us know it worked for you as well.

If I was a genious I would have managed this when I first started using Inkscape last year but at least I didn't give up, I kept trying every now and again and finally it all came together.

Can somebody tell me where the tutorial section is please? I can't find it, lol (never having used it before doh!!!) and Matmoo's direct link unfortunately doesn't work.

I've still actually got 0.44 so better get a newer one I reckon.

Forget that...I've found it, lol.
Can't delete my post...I wish we could do that instead of looking like idiots, lolol.

I've had a few files sent to me because they weren't cutting and they all had the same problem, which was the stroke had not been assigned a colour and because people had the fill on they couldn't see this, so CR didn't have anything to cut.

I personally don't work with the fill on all the time and I don't work in outline for 2 reasons you can't see if you have the fill on and you get stray ghost cutlines, so I work without a fill and turn it on and off as and when.

If you are using .46 or .47 you can turn the fill off by looking at the colour bar along the bottom, at the far left there is a white box with a red X in it, right click on this and choose 'set fill' now you have no fill, if you want to fill the design, there are 2 ways to do this; select the design and left click any colour on the colour bar or right click on a colour and choose 'set fill'.

I hope this helps someone, especially if they are out there struggling alone.

Sorry I didn't get back before but life has sort of intervened. Just to say that I got it to work.I've no idea what I did that was different but whatever it was it has worked!

Thanks for letting us know Gloria, well done. Doesn't it cut nicely?

Lucille, I just got ver. 46 devel to cut, and it was because of what you said about the fill and stroke, that make me check it again.
Thank you so much

[Lucille]

Well done Grace that's good news, so far I think everyone that has posted has got it to work.

[cattiegracie]

you're a star Lucille, because we wouldn't have got it to work with out you prompting us.
Thanks for that.

[Lucille]

Thanks Grace it's such a shame it won't work for the CR Pro crafters, lets hope the Inkscape people can get them that plugin.

Lucille, you solved the mystery of why my inkscape stuff wasn't cutting! Thanks so much!
