Thanks for sharing. To me Gimps layer system is a bit more intuitive. I spent a lot of time on Gimp before trying inkskape. I'm dragging in different UV maps from airplane sections that I don't want to paint over. The UV map simply put is a 2d map of airplane sections taken from a 3d aircraft. In Gimp I go to file and open each UV map as a layer then add a layer to paint on. And the entire plane will end up on one .png to be loaded into Phoenix RC flight simulator to give it its paint scheme. When painting with the bezier pen it creates a new path every time I use it to paint a different section where Gimp would keep that on the same layer.

In Inkscape the layers aren't so important, unlike in GIMP and other bitmap editors where you are basically painting on the layer, vector graphics editors store each element of your project separately. So if you did draw a line across you UV map in the same layer they are still separate objects so you can move/edit/delete the line without effecting the UV map. It is only when you export the final image as a png that it all becomes 'fixed' because you are exporting the image as a bitmap. If you open the 'Layers and Objects' dialog: Object - Layers and Objects, you get a hierarchical representation of all the elements of your project. So you have the layers and then all the elements that are on that layer. You can toggle the visibility of layers and objects and also lock them so they can not be selected or effected. I hope the custom paint job goes well :-) You can group the individual paths when you've finished so you can move them as one.

@@CreateForFree Thanks for the info! Im inkscape more and more every day. Love the node editor for fine adjusting a texture.😀

Thanks for this, any idea how i can locate a locked object which is present on the screen but can''t select it? I've been trying to figure out to auto locate it inside the layer panel whil been locked.

[@CreateForFree]

I don't know about auto select, but if you have a lot of object in your project you could quickly narrow it down sellecting half of them in the layers and objects dialog box (click on one then hold shift and click on an other object and it select all the objects in between). If it's not got a bounding box it must be in the other half, then half them again and repeat. (If it's in a group it won't get it's own bounding box).

@CreateForFree got it will try this out.. appreciate your response!

[@Kince3]

2 questions, my square box is filled with a color when I use it, hoe do I get it transparent like yours? And, can you print the image from inkscape?

[@CreateForFree]

If you go up to the 'Object' menu at the top, the second option in the drop down menu is 'Fill and Stroke...' Click on that and it will open a dialog box on the right. 'Fill' is the fill colour of a path where you can set the fill colour of a path, you can also change the opacity - you can either adjust the Alpha channel which controls the opacity of the fill colour or you can use the opacity control at the bottom. The 'Stroke' section is for the out line of your path. You can print straight from Inkscape: File - Print... which just gives you your normal printing option, Inkscape does add a Render tab which allows you to state if you want it rendered as a vector graphic or as a bitmap, I think you can also set the resolution for rendering as a bitmap.

my object is on lyer no. 2 when I have seleted layer no.1 , how to select the object in layer 2 directly without selecting the layer 2??? please reply

[@CreateForFree]

If you have not locked anything you should be able to click on any object to select it. You can also select them by clicking on them in the layers and objects dialog box (Inkscape 1.2). You can select multiple objects in different layers by holding down shift and clicking on them. Does that help?

@@CreateForFree yes. Thank you so much sir.
