HELP

[heppnerguy]

I need some help here. I am learning Ink Scape and I have to say that I am doing pretty well, if I might say so, myself, but I have run into a problem that I am sure has a simple solution, so I am asking for help with this.

 

I have made a couple of different patterns and I now wish to combine the two patterns and work into a final pattern. I am unable to figure how to get both patterns on the same work page. Every time I try to open a second pattern into my already open working page, it just opens a separate page. Can someone help me here ?

 I am sure it will be of great help to you .

Hi Heppnerguy, You say two patterns!, Can you explain what your problem

is a bit clearer, I don't understand two pages?,

Select your pattern that you want to copy.  Press Ctrl+C to copy it to your clip board.  In your other document, press Ctrl+V to paste it into your other project.

 

Let me know if you're still having troubles.

 I had designed 2  different patterns and i tried to bring up both of them into the same page but Inkscape always just opened a brand new work space with only the new pattern i opened. I could not get both images to open on the same page so that I could incorporate them as one pattern to work with. I took Multitom's suggestion, even though it was dealing with a different program adn understood that I needed to go to the 'layers' format and it worked for me. thanks for that tip, it worked for me.   And thanks Travis... I will also try your suggestion and see if that helps.  Bob, I know you are aware of all the trouble s that I have with patterns, but I really am doing a lot better now..thanks for all your patience with me
