Thanks for covering these in your video. I just purchased a plasma table and learning all of the ins and outs of inkscape. Lots to learn! I was curious if you could tell me how you can difference an object (circle) from one layer into a second layer below it? I want to be able to have standoffs to raise lettering above the background and have the holes align with each other for welding. Haven't seen an explanation anywhere on how to do that.

[@BadDogMetalworks]

To have matching holes in a front and back layer I would align the parts on top of each other, turn the fill color off on the top layer and a stroke color on. That way you can easily select the top layer by clicking on the outer contour/stroke or the bottom layer by clicking anywhere on its fill color. Then lay your holes out where you want them and union them all together. Then duplicate the holes but don’t move them. Then select the holes and the top layer outline and difference. Then your second set of duplicate holes should still be there, select those and difference from the bottom layer. Then you can move your two layers and turn your fill color back on.

How did you get your logo/profile picture...Inkscape, as well?

I been using Inkscape since 1849 and I still have issues figuring out the boolean path commands. Senility I guess.
Thanks for the video.

Good tutorial. But I wish you had set the application to use light background.
