OMG...I'm not using a cutting machine, but this solved the problem I was experiencing. Scribus not importing my SVG files correctly (so that I can create a CMYK file for printing). THANK YOU!!!!!
You have saved my life in the first 45 seconds. "File>save" and it automatically exports an svg file. Who'd have thought?! :D Spent two hours in the export tab making shitty PNGs....!
When I upload the svg from Inkscape to Cricut Design Space my design (text and image) don’t stay in place when I go to “make it”. The texts’ letters are all over the place-not in their place on the design. Thank you.
Thank you. However, while I followed you suggestions. I could get my SVG to load properly in LaserGRBL. I did decide to export from Inkscape to PNG and load the PNG instead of SVG and that worked. In my situation, I started with multiple layers and I wonder if that was the root of the issue.
just a question Erica, when you do the step of ungrouping then converting object to path. does it make difference which step to do first? is ungrouping must to be first? The reason I am asking that when i did the scattering project you did in your first webinar for the pink petals with yellow canter, it only worked with me 1 time and then never worked again :) so I am trying to find out what is the missing step or if i did something in the wrong order and that's why i am wondering if ungrouping must be first !. i tried the same project without the yellow circle canter (just petals) and the scattering was successful. thanks
You'll need to ungroup before you perform a function or else the grouping can block that action from taking place. You can always group back again after though like with the flower using the Scatter function you will need to ungroup to convert to a path but always group back before putting it around the circle. Hope that helps!
@@svgme4867 thank you, can i union the (petals + yellow little circle) instead of grouping? i get confused when to do grouping and when to do union! i feel most of the times they give the same result but occasionally not. Also the scattering never works with me if i convert the little yellow circle from object to path- so I converted the petals to path by itself then I attached the yellow circle to the middle of the petals then grouped- not sure if this is the same way you did it
I made a design on Inkscape been trying to upload it to DS but it keeps saying “image to large” I tried different things and nothing is working. Do you know what I’m doing wrong ?
try saving it at 72 dpi if you can. or when starting a new file look for a option that is web friendly. otherwise I would shrink/scale the entire project down to a smaller size. svg are vector files, they can mostly be scaled to any size. but if saved as 72, it has a limit.
Do you happen to have anything regarding getting the stroke to translate into your svg file for some reason it never saves with the stroke and my work around is super drawn out. Ty!
Go to CHANGE INKSCAPE SETTING TO WORK BETTER WITH CRICUT DESIGN SPACE. BY MAKING WITH MARILYN. She shows how to do it on a Mac. I’m on a Mac too, but after I do all the steps and then she says she goes to the desktop, and gets the file. my file are is not there. don’t know where to find the file on my Mac. so do you think maybe you could try it. and see if it works for you.and then maybe you could help me since we’re both on a MacBook?????
