A New Inkscape Pictorial

[dozyrosy]

I've just had a go, but it took some fiddling with settings! For me it seems to be a matter of setting the right colour. Once I got this sorted, I was able to cut OK. I've cut a modified dingbat, a letter, and a circle.

I'm using XP, CC330, and Inkscape 0.46, build date 1st April(!!) 2006. I can't use later versions of Inkscape as they won't recognise my Graphics tablet.

I've also had an attempt with the Pro, and although it offers some setting options, it doesn't bring up the the controller. But the software isn't as up to date as with the little machine.

If you look under the Help button the About Inkscape will (should!) tell you, Doreen. Otherwise I think the download has the date/time as part of the zipped file name.

I'm a bit befuddled but it seemed to me that if I set both the stroke colour in Inkscapeand set the same colour for the cutline I was OK, but if I left the shape in (for me) its basic sort of grey shade, it wouldn't cut. I don't work in Inkscape much so haven't generally bothered with stroke and fill stuff, so it's been a bit "poke and see what happens" for me today. The hot weather's left me really under the weather (sorry) and headachey and I'm not yet back to being able to think at all - let alone think straight... so I may be well off target!

Hi, I had ago at this yesterday and managed to do it more or less straight away.

I am using XP on laptop
I downloaded a newer version of Inkscape dated 20th June the other day, but I am not sure if it's a later .46 or a .47.
I tried from a dxf file but when it did not work tried a svg file ( one I made when doing some practice) and it worked fine. Haven't tried another dxf yet.
I did alter the cutline colour to black. Have not tried other colours yet.
And the pen worked too, on the second attempt.
I have RM 5.1 and a cc200 model
