Inkscape Stuff...

[whulsey]

Thanks for the Inkscape information, have been tinkering with it some but haven't really had time to get serious about it.

Has anyone had Inkscape files printed at Kinko's or some other place similar? Do you convert the file to a PDF if you did or could they print in native format?

I haven't but I wouldn't go near a commercial printer with anything other than a pdf (opinions may vary). CutePDF works well if you need a converter (opinions may vary).

I've been playing around with inkscape modifying the modelart P-51 and have been searching tutorials trying to find the tool that will trim lines. Basically I have made several copies of a part and I am trying to cut it apart and put it back together in a slightly different way (co-locating seams with panel lines) but I don't know how to trim lines. Any help or pointing to a tutorial would be appreciated

I think what you're looking for is to edit a path with the node tool. The following "quick guide" has some tips on splitting a path with that tool:

a Quick Guide to Inkscape

Otherwise you could try duplicating the object/path and then deleting parts until you have half of what you want, then do it again for the other half.

HTH.

Just found a problem with my earlier question about having printing done from Inkscape: it doesn't do CMYK separations. I guess the base SGV language is so far written only to work with RGB for onscreen use. If you're using a laser or inkjet guess that wouldn't be a problem. But for offset printing you're out of luck. Any ideas for a work around?

you may have to switch to a graphics program to do the coloring............. PhotoShop...............
Print Shop..........
GIMP.........

If you switch to a bitmap program you lose the whole point of doing it in a vector program. Thinking I may be better off just going ahead and getting CorelDraw.
