Afaik the path is then an attribute of the text - you just can alter the shape/form of the path with the Node-tool. If you want to have the stroke as part of the design you might need to double it before making artistic text out of it. Cheers

Yes - with the Point Transform Tool.

Quicker? When you`ve drawn the fourth point with the pen tool to close the shape hit A then cmd+A click&drag&snap. Not fast enough? Then draw with snapping enabled.

Try it with the Node Tool instead: Cheers

I´ve been through all possibilities I could find. If you have a setting that works I´m all ears: inconsistant snapping.afdesign Cheers

I can´t explain this behaviour: Is this intentional? Cheers

Then let me help you: incorporating any locked object into Boolean operation is nonsense to me. Otherwise the lock is breached and/or just decoration.

Ist that the result you´re looking for? That is non-destructive:

Sorry - I didn´t get the picture.

Does it makes sense to you?

Can´t you just use the "Pie" property of the Ellipse Tool?

As I accidentally left the pixel layer selected yesterday because I locked it - it seems to count into the Boolean operation - which doesn´t makes sense methinks.

Simple double the top shape before Boolean add. I hope the toolset with the iOS version is identical as I made a starter file with the desktop version I have - saved with history enabled so you can follow my quick steps: Key.afdesign Hope this helps. Cheers PS: selecting a locked pixellayer during Boolean operation will delete it - which in most case isn´t wanted - so I guess it´s a bug - I will use it as a feature in the future though.

Add a new->Layer-Fill Layer->Type=Bitmap - Extend->Wrap, adjustments make with Gradient tool.

Maybe you get the idea:

Use the rectangle as a mask: select raster image and drag it onto rectangle in Layers Panel. Or if rectangle (need a fill color) is over image select it and call Mask to Below.

No no no - this isn´t necessary by all means. We use vector graphics to just avoid this to happen. Duplicate the shape - modifier - alter - break - add - subtract whatever you want. I don´t see any reason to draw the same shape 2 times. I´m under the impression you´re over-complicating things. Cheers

Aside from the fact that this is a nonsense scenery (Why would one draw this 3 curves separately?) I can close it in 3 sec.: Nonetheless I like the robust toolset Inkscape offers though.

I have no idea what you want as a result in the end: (Boolean add with a locked pixel layer which vanishes seems a bug to me BTW)

1. What? Sure it will when you drag a node - what should it do instead? It´s easy enough to draw a straight&join - no? 2. Try harder.

AD can do this: Cheers

Maybe I´m missing your point:

Are you in the need of a vector file for Riso Printing? Can´t you just export a raster image as it got scanned anyway for the master? Cheers

.... when it´s a Pixel layer, like walt.farrell wrote.

Good catch - and it tend to the leftmost edge on Horizontal Scale values greater than 100%.
