Inkscape - Combine text to look like part of an outline
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- A common request is learning how to take a line of some sort - an infinity symbol, a state outline, a heartbeat or any other shape and attach some text right into the outline. Here's a quick demo on how to accomplish this in Inskcape. Enjoy!
That last trick with the node editor is golden.
Thanks for sharing.
Wendy, Your Inkscape tutorials are just the BEST...thank you so much for doing these! I’ve been going through them one after the other and learning so much! I hope you will post more...I love all that I am learning to do with this great program! You have a gift for explaining so clearly and easy to understand! Again, many many thanks! Have a great day😊
Thank you, what a great idea , opens up a whole new world. I love your calm voice.
You are my favorite teacher,you just get right to the steps ,no extra talking to confuse what you are trying to teach..I think I might be ready to actually try to do this ..thank you so much,have you got a tutorial on how to make text into a design like heart shape or something..
Yes!!! You are awesome!! Thank you! This was driving my crazy trying to figure it out before your video!! I love that your videos are so easy to follow, being an inkscape newbie!
Thank you so much! This was the easiest method I've seen yet!
THANK YOU!!! This was so easy to follow and understand, I've been struggling with Inkscape :-)
Thank you! This is exactly what I am trying to learn to do at the moment
Wendy awwww fun!!!! Thanks Texas is the state I am from and I will enjoy making these for my grandkids!!!!
Thank you so simply explained. I've always wanted to do this.
Wendy, thank you so much for this excellent tutorial!
I will try that today and see how it goes. Thank you for your time and help. Best 😊
I cannot thank you enough for this! This was so helpful.
Thank you.. my image an font would not "union" your little tip helped!!
Thank you! This is exactly what needed to see.
Oops!I suspect I am doing something incorrect. I followed the directions and created paths, yet the “Difference” option is not cutting my shape. Do the layers matter?
this was an AWESOME tutorial! Thank you!
thanks for taking the time to make this videos. very eazy to follow you've help me alot with this video thanks.
Hi its my firts time that i saw a video of you. Look easy the way you explain thanks . Im a new member. Thanks
Wow you make it look so easy. Thank you.
Thank you this was so helpful and I will try it today!
Thank you
Thank you Wendy.
Hi Wendy, another great video. Can you do a video of a glyphy/curvy/calligarphy type text in the shape of a tear drop?
I’m one of the many longtime Adobe CC users want to break free. The trace feature in Illustrator has an expand function that allows you to easily pull parts away from your drawing. This really helps with color separation in silkscreen printing. Is there a similar function in Inkscape? Thank you for sharing you talent.
Hi Wendy, this is really helpful, thank you. I hope you are well and I was wondering if you are you still out there using Inkscape & helping us newbies? I would like to replace names and a date embedded in an infinity symbol I found on Google images with personalized names and a personalized date so that I can print it out to make a pattern that I can then carve into wood for a wedding gift, using my scroll saw. Would you be able to help me with how I could possibly do that?
Looks great.
YOu dont see the nodes on "Home" at first because they are grouped.
Thanks Wendy!
Awesome thanks
I need some help making an outline of letters with a shape both inside and outside of the shape. let's say you have a heart with a name attached to the heart on the inside, but you want the outline to go around the word and the shape on the inside and outside
I bought a svg file of a monogram door hanger off Etsy. It has space in it to put a last name. I have created the last name and put in there but can’t figure out how to weld the two together to make the words one with the monogram so I don’t have overlapping lines. Once created I will use to cut on CNC machine. If you could help with this would be great. Thank you!
Hey Wendy, I´m struggling all the time with the "difference" function - do you know why it doesn´t work? I did each step like you´ve been indicating. Thanks for your help. Silke
nice
Fantastic!👍👍👍
THANKS FOR SHARING ♡
When I try to do difference it isn't working. I tried your suggestion below and I don't have extra layers open. When I select difference, I get a side tool box with colors and stuff. I can make the "home" white with no outline but then It doesn't work to select and delete the lines that are left between the letters,
Thx 😊
Can u do this exact thing but with illustrator but using and image from illustrator to combine into paths you already have like from text that was created in to outlines
can you show how to take a png file and make it a circle.
It won't let me turn my text into a path. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Hello ive just watched your demo for the state and home video. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to demo for me how to get a word sticking half way up from the edge of he page as if I was punching it. My paper measures 4 x 12 so I want Merry Christmas to be half in and half out like you would with a punch to show the pattern. I’m all set up and ready to go. I would appreciate it very much. I’m in the UK. so i appreciate the time difference. Thank you so much. Anita
Hi Wendy how do i combine a bitmap scan say of a moose and combine it to a frame along with other various items like a tree or bushes, to create a light box/diorama type effect, no need for all the layers but would like to know how to make a small frame to cut out with the various bits and pieces attached. Sounds crazy question but if you have time to look up light box/diorama I know you will know what I mean, thanks flower.
Hello I'm trying to do te state of Jersey but its a slop how can imove my home in a angle
can you do a heart beat with the outline of an image in between?
Can you do this by putting a statement to outline the state with words
How do do a stroke just on the outside of an image? Everytime I try something it gives me cut lines on both out and inside of images for every line not just outside
You mentioned that the home had a ton of vectors. Is there a way to decease the amount of vectors? I have some images I am cutting out on a laser cutter, and due to the number of vectors it is taking longer than it should to cut. Thanks
Hi! I watched your video about combing a word to look like part of a design and I’m struggling with a creation of my own while following your directions. I’m recreating a shirt I saw on Pinterest. It says Mom hard wife hard work hard on the inside of a thin lined box and along the bottom of the box it says “repeat”. Long story short, when I upload the image to my cutting board the lines of my box are all funky. When I create the box I’m doing the path-object to path-stroke to path. Is this not what I should be doing or what am I doing wrong that my lines aren’t staying straight? Please help I’m computer/Inkscape illiterate!
Nice
is there a way to write text in a swirl? Also can you make the whole outline words instead of a line?
I am attempting this with the word family on an infinity sign and the entire image continues to delete. What am I doing wrong?
I am not able to use the difference command.. I've followed your steps and all works until I get to the "difference" point... neither the short cut nor the drop down seem to work?
When you click on it, look at the bottom left of the screen. If you see something telling you that everything is not paths, try clicking on the node editor (the one under the selector arrow), then click on your first object, hold shift and click the second, all the nodes should be highlighted, then click Path -> Difference. If when you're using node editor and you click objects, you don't see a bunch of nodes, then something has not been converted to a path.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.. I had already tried what you suggested but kept working when that didn't work and discovered for some reason I had extra layers and when I ungrouped and worked to separate the layers then it worked! Been having fun playing with this new skill! Thanks so much.
Hello, when I export the pnf file and attempt to place it on say a black shirt the white background is the background of the design attached. I believe I am not saving it correctly or not just selecting the design.
So you're not cutting this with an electronic cutter like a Cricut? Usually I save as plain svg and then cut it with my Cricut. But if you want to print it on a transfer sheet, you would need to export it as a .png file. As long as when you traced your bitmap in the first step, you removed the background, the png should be transparent when you print it.
I'm having trouble getting rid of the background of my design when I attempt to place it on a shirt. Would you mind explaining what I'm doing wrong? Thank you
I'm not sure what you mean. When you cut it, aren't you just cutting the actual design? What background do you still have when you're applying the vinyl to your shirt?
how do you make curly tails on letters
It has to be a font that has the swirls, otherwise you would need to draw them yourself. Some font do it for you. Like Brannboll - if you type a number it translates that to the swoosh underneath. Some have full maps of characters like Samantha font.
I am struggling with a circle monogram inside a pineapple...whatever I am doing wrong I can't slice the circle space out of the pineapple to insert my monogram...can you help?? I am brand new at this..
Click on the Node Editor (the icon just under the selector arrow) and click the pineapple. You should see all the little nodes. Then hold shift and click the circle. You should see all the nodes of both pieces. Then click path -> difference and it should slice it out.
It Worked!!!! thank you!!! I've been messing with this for 3 hours
Can you tell me after I create an svg file how can I go back and take it apart after it’s been saved.
you can reply at kglafont68@gmail.com if that easier. thanks
Can you make text to an infinity sign?
It's exactly the same. It doesn't matter what shape you use. Follow the exact same steps but instead of pasting in the state outline,paste in an infinity symbol that you find on google. :)
Text vill. Lol
