Removing extra transformations inserted by Inkscape.

(please feel free to add your tips and corrections)Įdit/Preferences/Behaviour/Transformationsĭisable “Scale Stroke Width” (makes it easier to change size of holes in rings, etc)ĭisable “Scale Rounded Corners in Rectangles” (makes adjusting custom PCB size more consistent)Įnable “Optimized” Store Transformations (should be enabled by default and should prevent some extra transformations from being inserted)

If that's not what you're seeing then please provide more details, including your Inkscape version, a copy of the SVG file, and ideally a link to the tutorial in question (if it's a video tutorial, a link directly to the right timestamp would be best, or provide the timestamp in your comment).Just thought I would start a thread to share a few of my tips and tricks to working with Inkscape to produce new parts/boards for Fritzing. In other words, based on your description, I would expect the end result to be a filled rectangular path which matches the outer dimensions of the original stroke. Union combines those paths in such a way that effectively only the outer path remains.Break apart on that will turn those two sub-paths into separate paths, one inside the other.Stroke to path will convert the stroke into a filled path consisting of two sub-paths.The steps you've described won't work on a filled rectangle in 1.0, so I'm guessing that the tutorial is based on 0.92, or assumes a rectangle without a fill. Can you link to the tutorial in question?ĭoes your rectangle have a fill? If so, try removing that and see if the remaining steps work.
