This the Geothermal Module or also called Geo Module.

This can be deployed on specific tiles that have an access to the deep ground so we can use geothermal energy to produce electricity.

This is one of the four modules used in my 2D isometric turn-based puzzle management game called Watts Ahead.

I have to use draftsight for work, but it sucks. Draftsight does handle svg imports, but its not a full implementation of the svg format, it can only really handle paths. I havent worked out exactly what svg elements it can, or can not process.

Anyhow, Im looking for an inkscape plug-in to convert inkscape drawings to svgs that draftsight can handle. if such a think exists, I really want to know about it.

Sometimes when I’m tracing an object with the Pen Tool, this happens. All the other nodes work fine, but I can’t edit this part. None of the tools seem to do anything.

Why does this happen, and how do I fix it?

Google's AI did answer this, but it also implied that changing the label would also change the name of it under Layers and Objects. And as you can see: changing the label does nothing to change how it is named under layers and objects. So I'll consider it's information dubious.

I'm at the stage where actually naming everything would be useful, so knowing what the difference is actually are would come in handy. I did notice that changing the name of the object in layers and objects does change the label, but why would vice versa not apply?

When I tried looking up tutorials I only got things for making labels, but nothing about the differences between these three things.

Thank you in advance!

I'd like to create a graph (nodes and lines) in Inkscape. But there's no way to add a line between two existing nodes as far as I know. And if I try to draw two lines with the bezier tool that end on the same points, then use the node tool to drag a selection box around the overlapping node and select "Join selected nodes" from the toolbar, the two nodes still remain separate. So if I move one node, the other line doesn't move with it. How can I achieve a connected graph with no duplicate nodes please?

With my SVG open and a colour displayed with RGB I can just press a button in the Fill and it shows me the same colour but with different numbers for CMYK.

For example the orange of this sub is RGB: 255 / 135 / 23 so if I create a rectangle in Inkscape and make it that orange I can then click the option changer which tells me that in CMYK it's 0 / 47 / 91 / 0. I've not meaningfully converted anything or changed anything as it's very togglable.

If I want to export my orange rectangle either as a PNG or PDF and send to a printer who wants CMYK only, do I need to do anything special to it before exporting? Printers' websites talk about converting colours to CMYK which suggests a degree of effort beyond pressing a button. Or can just write down the numbers and send those?

Thanks!

Now comes the time of the hydro module I created using Inkscape. I took inspitation from lot of Pinterest images.

This represetns a hydro module that you can deploy and produce clean energy using the tides and the watter currents.

It's part of my latest game, a 2D turn-based puzzle management game called Watts Ahead, where you have to use those clean energy modules to power human settlements on a distant planet.

first time using Inkscape, but one object is not exporting, it's just a square object with gradients named sky

also few things i've tried:

removing the gradient of the sky, which then somehow it lets me export the sky,

different scale, did nothing,

exporting the entire document, the sky still didn't show up

moving all the objects to a new file, didn't really work as well

though i really need the gradient!

I'm trying to create a cross hatch "filter"(?) for pen plotting. Because this is for a pen plotter, it is important that the resulting hatching is comprised of strokes and not paths or at least has an easy enough means to convert to strokes.

My first instinct was to create a grid of my desired hatching that covers the whole canvas and then use path > intersection to mask the hatching to a vector I wanted hatching within. For some reason, this didn't work as I expected. I assume it's because I was trying to use a path operation on a stroke, but the outcome was always that both my hatching and path disappeared from the object list without a trace. After some experimenting, I found that path > cut path worked mostly? It just meant an exorbatant amount of manual work manually going in and deleting sections of the strokes that had been "cut up". Frankly, way too much manual work. Push come to shove it would work eventually, but I'm sure there's another way. Pictured is my attempt using "pattern fill" but I can't find an obvious way to make that fill into strokes or even paths for that matter.

I did come across an extension called "hatch fill" which by its description sounds like it would do just what I want but when I enable it it returns a script error and then doesn't actually show up in the menu.

I'm using inkscape 1.4.4 on fedora linux 44.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, cheers in advance.

Hi again, this time I'm showing the Wind Module for the game called Watts Ahead, available for free on itchio.

I made this in Inkscape with very simple shapes. It is a wind deployable module used by a futuristic human civilization that is trying to power their settlements with clean energy on a distant planet.

Solar Module for the game called Watts Ahead, available for free on itchio.

I made this in Inkscape with very simple shapes. It is a solar module used by a futuristic human civilization that is trying to power their settlements with clean energy on a distant planet.

I'll be posting other modules soon.

I have a logo designed on a paper which i want to convert in a digital format so that i can edit it.

AI tools are also welcome but the SVG generated using chatgpt, gemini (pro) and claude(pro) are very different from the image uploaded. I managed to get rid of the background using canva but want to make it available in a form where i can change color, handle different sections of it separately and also smoothen out the edge slightly.

For additional context, I am not from creative background but need to do it for a personal project.

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a come back into doing neon flex signs. The thing that I'm wondering is "how do I convert my handwritten font text into monoline?" And believe it or not I cannot find what I'm asking anywhere. The thing is that the logo I'm trying to engrave has strokes with variable width and I need to make it monoline to simulate a centerline path.

Is this doable with inkscape??

I forgot what it was actually called but you used to be able to resize content with added margin. Like say, you wanted a canvas 800px by 600px but you wanted to add 20px margin around the edge. You used to be able to do this. Now you can't. It sucks! Bring it back.

I do have inkstitch installed, but wasn't running its function at this time.

Cant get through to the Inkscape page. Anyone else having issues? Is there a mirror somewhere where I can download from?

Does anyone know a good way to make even spaced insets without distorted curves? Scaling a duplicate never lines up, and the pattern along path tool tends to distort around the curves and corners, even turning small curves into straight lines.
