You can choose to have a stroke or not have a stroke and you can set the size, color, opacity, blur, and style of a stroke. The stroke outlines the object the fill fills the interior. My apologies for starting a thread before taking the time to really understand the problem.Author: Sharlie Last modified: June 1 2018Įvery object you create in Inkscape can have two parts: a stroke and a fill. This resulted in a cluttered and deeply nested object tree. New group g1622 is created containing the previously created group g1614.Īpparently as I was learning I did not understand/realize some objects were already grouped so I would just select and make another group.
Anyway, here's what happens if the group is grouped again. It might be nice if Inkscape would ask, "Group already exists. If the same action is performed again (select objects then Object>Group), Inkscape will dutifully create another group. This group is shown in the object tree as g1614 containing all of the grouped paths. Drag a selection box around both halves of the gear then Object>Group. I want to group all the paths so they can be moved as a unit. This created a clean, simple object tree. I copied only the necessary paths to a new file. I get it! Hopefully someone else might find this helpful. My apologies if I'm asking stupid questions! Is there an easy way, or function to clean this up and delete unnecessary junk or is it a manual process? I don't fully understand exactly how the object tree works yet. As I click through it, there seem to be needless groups and nesting. Checking the object tree there seems to be all sorts of left over junk with needless nesting and groups with boundary boxes that seem to define nothing.Īm I correct in guessing that over time the object tree can become cluttered with junk? Here is the object tree for this drawing. Learning to use Inkscape I had experimented, added and deleted lots of stuff. When I attempted to select the gear I got this: I wanted to center the gear on another object using Object>Align and Distribute. I rendered a grid and placed the gear over it. This issue came from a project I did while learning how to use Inkscape. Please forgive me if I ask something stupid. I just got the wonderful Inkscape, so I'm still figuring it out.
