Right good little series. I'm using Inkscape 1.4, so things have changed a bit, but mostly it's the interface. There's quite a steep learning curve for this app, but if you keep at it for a couple of hours each day, it does eventually stick. Thank you!
Glad you liked it, as you say, most tutorials don't show you all the features or what a difference the nodes tool can make. Thanks for the great comments.
Thank you! I have been trying to figure out how people get the handles to come out for a while now and this video answered that question lickety split.
You're welcome. If you are creating technical drawings I'd recommend watching my video on Snapping (the additional options I cover in the video are now in the snapping menu - under Advanced Mode). There are also ones on rounding corners and tangents that you may find helpful.
Thanks for your comment. There are 2 videos on my channel which you may find helpful Layers Inkscape th-cam.com/video/wTG0hYtXids/w-d-xo.html Inkscape Object Dialog th-cam.com/video/8ytOgfI7Vto/w-d-xo.html Both of these were filmed before they combined the layers and objects dialog box, so both will be helpful. In Inkscape 1.2 they were combined but a few useful feature were removed, in 1.3 some things have been reintroduced. Hope you find them helpful.
Thank you, I needed this. I have been struggling with the Bezier Tool. I get how useful it is, but it really does need lots of practice. However, with the right info otherwise ended up very frustrated. I still need to practise but am seeing what need to do now. So this tutorial is much appreciated
TU very match) Can U please make special video about NodeTool? And maybe U will add there something about how to configure keyboard shortcuts for to speed up work with these tools, including Beziers?
I had planned to make video covering working with nodes, so the nodes tool and other little features and function that can be really helpful. It will be coming 👍 I do like the idea of a video on keyboard shortcuts and how to set them. I'll try to tackle both in the near future.
Make sure you click and keep the button held down, then press shift as well, keep both held down and you should be able to now move the Bezier handle - when it is in the right position, then release the mouse button.
You can change/set custom keyboard shortcuts. Shift + L is a handy one, but like you say, it would be nice to use a single key. Just need to make sure you don't override another useful shortcut.
To add or change Shortcuts go to: Edit - Preferences Click on the Triangle in front of 'Interface' to display the options. Click on 'Keyboard at the bottom to open up the Keyboard shortcuts and modifiers panel. You can then click on the triangle in front of the name of the section you want. When you have found the function that you want to add or alter the shortcut for, click on it to select it, then click in the Shortcut column - once it displays 'New accelerator...' you can press the key combination you want to use (it will warn you if you are going to over ride an existing shortcut) Unfortunately you can't change all of the shortcuts and it looks like Ctrl + L is one that you can't change.
You may need to adjust the settings. Select the Bezier tool, at the top right of your screen, just under the snapping buttons you will see a small section that has Fill and Stroke width for the tool - click on it and the pen preferences box will pop up. Under Style of new object, you want to select - Last used Style, you can then close the box. Now when you use the tool it should use the last syle and not the default.
this would have to be THE best tutorial on the bezier tool on the internet.
So professionally done. Thank you
Thank you, I wanted to show how to combine the Bezier pen and Nodes tool to make life easier - so you can fix any mistakes. Thanks again

Thank you so much!

The Bezier tool is real useful, but I nearly alway switch to the nodes tool to put things right. Stick with it 👍
Loved this! It's one of the most detailed step by step Inkscape videos I've ever seen. Thank you!
Your welcome, hope it helped.
Great lecture, just what I wanted. Thank you soooo much.

Great tutorial

So warm so generous😍

Thank you, very helpful :O)
Good to hear you found it helpful.
This part is not happening with me for some reason 4:43
Make sure you click and keep the button held down, then press shift as well, keep both held down and you should be able to now move the Bezier handle - when it is in the right position, then release the mouse button.
@@CreateForFree I solved it, it was something to do with the grids. Thanks anyway
@@Dexter101x glad to hear you got it sorted, may have been to do with snapping. Great when you want to use it but a pain when you don't.
Is Shortcut shift + L can change to custom shortcut? Maybe just push alt or click last node bro?
You can change/set custom keyboard shortcuts. Shift + L is a handy one, but like you say, it would be nice to use a single key. Just need to make sure you don't override another useful shortcut.
@@CreateForFree can you tell me, for the stages of customizing the shortcut, I'm confused because I can't find it in preferences. thank you bro
To add or change Shortcuts go to:
Edit - Preferences
Click on the Triangle in front of 'Interface' to display the options.
Click on 'Keyboard at the bottom to open up the Keyboard shortcuts and modifiers panel.
You can then click on the triangle in front of the name of the section you want.
When you have found the function that you want to add or alter the shortcut for, click on it to select it, then click in the Shortcut column - once it displays 'New accelerator...' you can press the key combination you want to use (it will warn you if you are going to over ride an existing shortcut)
Unfortunately you can't change all of the shortcuts and it looks like Ctrl + L is one that you can't change.
@@CreateForFree too bad, but thanks for your feedback. thanks bro, subs
My width changes ba c k to default why
You may need to adjust the settings. Select the Bezier tool, at the top right of your screen, just under the snapping buttons you will see a small section that has Fill and Stroke width for the tool - click on it and the pen preferences box will pop up. Under Style of new object, you want to select - Last used Style, you can then close the box. Now when you use the tool it should use the last syle and not the default.
unless you already have such a video)
I've got pages of notes but no video yet - soon, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon 😏
