Hi all!! Yesterday I download the 1,0 version of Inkscape. I did some pieces for a B-52 bomber (Landin gear, Wheels, etc). They are in 1:300 scale and I wanted to 1:200 scale, so I procede to enlarged the pieces. But when I hit the lock icon to upscale at percentage, the pieces dissapeared from screen: then I hit Ctrl+Z and goes even worst, the pieces enlarged only vertically. Every time I hit Ctrl+Z the program do different things. I think I'm not prepared for this new version. Tony.

Tony,


You're not having a lot of luck with Inkscape. I'm using the Windows version, and have not run into the issues that you are having.

I only use Inkscape for vectorizing parts to be cut with my laser machine. For any work on models, including enlarging or reducing or recoloring, I prefer good 'ol Photoshop or similar. Much more user-friendly.

The Gimp is the freely available Photoshop alternative, and used as a raster editor
And Inkscape is the free alternative to Illustrator.

Not everyone has Adobe money laying around
