[@blufordbirdsong1834]

I know that these are pretty old videos, but I really enjoy them. I've learned so much already. Thanks very much for taking the time to share your knowledge!

[@Cre-Art]

I noticed the interactive tutorials, which I will definitely make use of, but I also enjoy watching videos. Thank you again.

[@mpaulaj]

Thank you so much for dedicating your time to this, i thought i had a bug but it was the way I was using the controllers.

[@shalalala4875]

You're awesome- I appreciate all the time and effort you take into sharing this information. I was getting frustrated and feeling like a total idiot for not being able to find the centering tools in inkscape. Thank you!

[@kimberlymcintyre9805]

Thank you for the tutorials. Keep coming back to it!

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome, Kimberly!

I am brand new to using Inkscape with our new CNC table. This makes me feel so much better as I was feeling hopeless butchering images and text the past few days lol.

[@karynhermans2358]

Thank you once again for a great and informative tutorial. I understand so much more now.

[@joshcollins9125]

These tutorials are really easy to watch and I can't believe how much I've learned in the last couple of hours so thank you. Have you got (or will you make) a tutorial on the snap to settings like those used with the bezier curve?

[@rajeshi4]

Thank you ! I was doing manually measuring using a rectangle. Damn, so easy just a button click.

[@Silywiz5524]

Thank you for the Tutorial .Very very helpful for beginners as I am !

[@Archimedes75009]

Thanks for your work. These are great videos.

[@TJFREE]

You are very welcome! Glad you like them.

[@markbrock9020]

Great videos you make. Thanks so much for helping a noob out. :)

[@indigoNine]

is there anyway to set a standard distance between the objects horizontally and vertically.....like the holes on a pegboard..? thanks!

[@mosalim2694]

I have an image but the selection is larger than the image. How can I crop my selection to the image? Thanks for all these amazing tutors.

[@abusam1]

nice, is it possible to distribute those shapes along the snowman, or say a vertical line object.

[@k9drwho1970]

Hi please help, I want to do this, have a square and a drawing I want to place the drawing into all four corners centred I am making a pattern, so needs to be precise and the fourth one in the centre of the tile. So they need to be half on half off the tile corners.

[@krystennawomack9724]

I hate it when I know I can do something but I can't figure out how. I am making something and I though I did it, but when I opened it up, it was not centered at all. So.... thank God for this video

[@erinbraker9216]

Hey Thanks for the video! Is there a way to distribute and put a certain distance between each object?

[@rochelem3872]

That would be great to know actually!

[@purplepenguina.k.a.burlyma6845]

I have a stupid question. I have not figured out how to do so and maybe I just didn't notice. Is there a way to take something I make and wrap it around a something as a border or some such? Like a puppy with a leash that i made which is straight wrapped as a border or outline?

[@chessPrabu]

Great video sir,will it be possible to align lines with spacing of say 6 inch in between lines

[@soldadopreciso]

Thanks pal. One question, How could you put the 2 corners of the start (5 corners tar) in a way that touch a horizontal bar shape? the same way with a vertical bar shape? I understand that the shapes doesn't know about orientation, and when a rotate to 0 degrees they always return to the initial position of creation. That result in another question, How can we add a horizontal or vertical references to the shapes, in a way than we can establish the exactly horizontal or vertical position? Thanks in advance

[@ercimoisa4235]

Thank you for uploading.

[@ianhuxstep211]

I have really learnt a lot from your tutorials well done. Are you able to answer a question, as I am more used to CAD like fusion 360 is there a way to add dimensions to an object or path or dimension between them.

[@liant8594]

usefull tutorial series, thanks TJ!

[@oyongski1]

The alignment feature is not working. Does anyone know this issue can be remedied?

[@juditkiss9965]

I don't know but the font alignement section icon (or any equivalen) is missing in my version 1.0.2

[@alf7571]

One thing is missing in this video. The distribute with a specific value for distance. Illustrator allows that. Does Inkscape also allow ?

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Thanks, I really can't understand why all of the possible dialogue options (like the Align and Distribute dialogue) aren't in the "view" menu under "show/hide". You have to go searching for each different one all in different menus. It's maddening. The whole point of a "show/hide" menu is to be able to control what parts of the application are either showing or hidden.

[@18kaedolls85]

thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome!

[@aykutyldz1538]

[@محمداسامه-ن1غ]

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome! I also recommend @saqlycourses for Inkscape tutorial in Arabic.

[@vishalpatil4908]

very good videos, i need basic first then i go for advance.

[@renelle6733]

Thank you for the tutorials they are really helping. Can you give me some information about how to save the projects ? I tried saving them into my documents. pictures, folders, export, as a pdf and it's saved on my desktop. But for some reason after its save on the desktop the icon turns into google icon image however, i was able to view the pdf form in word but partially. I even emailed it to myself but the files are unable to open also.

[@maricarfeliciano3889]

you can check his previous episodes, there's a lesson about saving files in different formats. It's in his Inkscape tutorial playlist, in his channel

[@dennekmusicproduction4782]

Thanks a lot 👍♥️

[@JimKernix]

I selected Selection Area and hit the same buttons but it is either the square or star that moves - not the star within the box. And when I deleted the square the star sometimes leaves the page outline. Is there some default setting or something that I need to change?

[@TJFREE]

Maybe change away from 'Selection Area' in the Align 'Relative to' drop down. Try Relative to: 'first selected' then first click on the object you don't want to be moved, then shift+select the object(s) you want to align relative to the first. Hope that makes sense, and helps.

[@krystennawomack9724]

Did you figure it out or do you still need help?

[@JimKernix]

@@krystennawomack9724 I can't even remember ths issue - must have solved it though the align and distribute section still gives me trouble

[@krystennawomack9724]

Well.... I don't know how to do much in inkscape. I am still am learning very basic. I watched this video and saw your post. I'm glad you got it figured out. I know how frustrating it can be to not be able to do something in inkscape.👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@JimKernix]

@@krystennawomack9724 Oh, I thought you were giving help - I just keep hitting buttons until it looks good enough. I love the program = You should try to do a few logos that you see online and try to reproduce them - I did a couple of my own logos and I'm getting the hang of it. I'm going to sdo all of my graphics in Inkscape for my blog because of the transparent background and I can optimize the size in Photoshop

[@TheZippydoda123]

TJ..do you know Rawson Uddin who does graphics with Illustrator? He does some complex art that is hard to follow but beautiful!

[@artofthereal]

Please do the eye dropper tool. It always confuses me.

[@OstapBrehin]

Thank you!

[@PraveenAV]

Awesome, thank you

[@baslielalene4702]

Thank You.

[@TheGdcb]

Is there a way to create bolt circles?

[@TJFREE]

Hi Carl. Do you mean like a hex bolt head? You can use the star tool and set the number of sizes to 6.

[@deryauuu]
