jerry1939 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 IF in Inkscape you saved as pdf, it also should have saved as "Inkscape svg". Go back to Inkscape - File - Open recent and see if it there. Should be unless you printed the pdf & deleted everything. If that is the case you could scan your pdf, import it into Inkscape and draw over your existing pattern. That would let you allow changes on your "new" pattern. Hope this helps you Friend. jerry OCtoolguy 1 Quote

coldwood Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Posted February 22, 2019 Ok .I saved it as a svg , now I need to know how to remove that top design? Jim OCtoolguy 1 Quote
jollyred Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 Use the node tool to select the nodes you want to remove. Select all of the nodes you want to remove, duplicate them, and move the duplicated nodes off to the side. Re-select the nodes to be removed and delete them. To make the circle larger, select it with the selection tool and use the grips at the corners to make it the size you want. You will probably have to put it back in the original position after doing this. Then you can select the duplicated nodes, enlarge these to the size you want using the same procedure and move it to where ever you want. From here you will probably need to do some cleanup to get it looking its best. Good luck, Tom OCtoolguy 1 Quote
WayneMahler Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. I have the original pattern. Are your trying to replace the over all shape to a circle and eyelet to hang it from ? OCtoolguy 1 Quote

I want to remove the eyelet design from the top.( Then I would make the circle beefyer.( thicker ) because between the inside and out side of the circle is too fragile.) I do know how to make the circle a little beefyer . but then I need to resize the eyelet and put it back on. Edited February 22, 2019 by coldwood OCtoolguy 1 Quote

WayneMahler Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 This is the same as Don's only in red lines and a white back ground. Let me know if this is what your looking for. Then I can explain how to do it. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

I also saved it as a svg as someone said i should. I want to be able to know how to fix this for future projects thanks. Jim OCtoolguy 1 Quote
jerry1939 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 You are getting good advice. One thing I would add to it. Before anything else, I would click on the entire pattern. EDIT - DUPLICATE and shove the original off to the side. That way, in the event that you should happen to mess up, delete what you are working on & bring back the original. If I make a mistake, I go to EDIT - UNDO LAST. You can keep repeating that as needed. Also, every time you complete each little bit, hit SAVE. That way if you mess up, you can close it. When you open up the program again, it will be your last SAVE. jerry OCtoolguy 1 Quote

WayneMahler Posted February 22, 2019 Report Posted February 22, 2019 Jim If you ungroup it then select only the outer part you want larger.Hold down the shift key then stretch it your mouse. This maintains the aspect ratios for all sides. When you get it to where you want it, select all the pieces then select group. It will keep things together for you. Save the file and then print.

I went to Layer -duplicate current layer. Set aside top layer, Select the svg -that gets a box around the svg. go to Object -ungroup ..when i hold down shift it makes a box. Em I missing something. OK I just fugured something out This will not make the project any thicker between the inside and out side of the circle?? What I want to fugure out is to remove the top eyelet piece and after i fix the main part then put a larger eyelet piece back on. Jim Edited February 23, 2019 by coldwood OCtoolguy 1 Quote
WayneMahler Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 Jim I don't duplicate any part of an object. I encompass the complete object, then select ungroup. Click anywhere on the screen beside the object to eliminate all the boxes formed by ungrouping. I then select the part I want to change ( expand ) , then hold the shift key, select the box then stretch or expend to what I want. Let go of the mouse button click outside the selection again. Then select all items and then chose group . Hopefully this is a little clearer, sorry for the confusion on my part. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
coldwood Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I made a box around svg. clicked object- ungroup . This didnt form any more boxes within the svg. Edited February 23, 2019 by coldwood OCtoolguy 1 Quote
