bobscroll Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Jerry, Yes you can, But you need to convert your image to a "path" so that you can edit it to what you want, First click on "path" then Trace-bitmap to alter your image or object ok Bob WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Here's a tutorial on printing oversized patterns. Just make it as big as you want, then use this technique to break your pattern up into multiple sheets. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/articles.html/_/pattern-making/inkscape/printing-oversized-patterns-r21 bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye10 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I watched the video and thought it was good but I don't understand it. I don't understand anything about Inkscape so that is the reason. What I would like is something more simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobscroll Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi Don, At first Inkscape gave Me a headache! If you stick at it it will sink into your brain box, I have say Don there is still a lot I don't know about Inkscape! You have to start off slowly and build up your knowledge, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Okay I can only hope this isn't you doing this tutorial cause I couldn't watch it was so boring I had to stop watching I'm sorry. It's OK. People learn in different ways. I personally like being shown, which is why I gravitate to video. I know a lot of folks found it extremely useful. You only need a couple steps to do what you're looking for: Trace Bitmap, then scale. If you can stomach the video, watch at 2:47-6:07, which is only a tish over 3 minutes. Everything else is about how to print and align your pattern. I hope you find the answer you're looking for. blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I do better hands on and being shown. I found opening inkscape on one side or in one screen then the tutorial in the other side or another screen. I watch a couple steps then got to my inkscape that is open and do it also. After many times doing this I did get a better grasp of what I was doing. Not necessarily real good at it but good enough to get started.
