Fantastic, your videos are awesome!!! Congratulations. They clarify so many little things in inkscape. I'm a designer switiching to linux and your videos are just fundamental steps for that. Thank you Nick.
Just a suggestion. Instead of selecting the nodes of each line separately, just select the nodes of a line, press and hold 'Shift', click on another line to select it, now select the two nodes of that line. You can select as many pair of nodes as you like in one go and hit 'join selected nodes' and the effect will be applied to all the selected lines. Thanks for the tutorial, love you.
To join a whole bunch of nodes all at once - Select everything using Ctrl-A (or clickdrag over everything), then select the "edit paths by nodes" tool so you can see the nodes, then clickdrag over all the nodes you want to join, then press the "Join selected nodes" button. Inkscape will only join nodes that are in the same shape.
I followed all the steps, including object to path with the letter and when i go to do the cut to path... the whole graphic disappears.. the letter has to be filled with a color to see it, and all the lines are gone.. the letter after cut path functions just has a funky looking outline .. i wonder why that is .. anyone figured out how to fix that issue? I got a design in mind using this technique but i cant go past cut path
I cant even see the letter once i use cut path to delete the lines. I've done everything this video says and used a big thick letter to. Why cant i see the letter?
Great tutorial Nick 👏🏻 I’ve just followed this and used same technique for my logo and now looks AWESOME. Thanks again. Subscribed and keep up the great work.
That shift + alt seems like a really useful shorcut. Nice video as always, love that you have a lot of videos for inkscape, I'm really liking it 'til now.
Wonderful tutorial, super helpful. The method in the video is super labor intensive though in the step to combine nodes to get the tapered line pattern. You can accomplish the same effect more efficiently if you make the tapered line separately and use that as a pattern to apply to all the paths in your "lined" letter.
For the people who wanna do this with a word instead of a letter. Follow the instructions as shown in the video. When you have to 'cut paths' follow these instructions: Select all the letters, click Path > Stroke to Path, Object > Ungroup. Make sure to select all letters, and click Path > Union. Now you can select the stripes and letters and go to Path > Cut Path

Just downloaded very new version of this app, and my first tutorial was this. In order to make the line thicker something needs to be selected then chaing pixel would work. It took my 10min other youtuber's tutorial helped for that. It sucka and very frusrated spending hours of work... I memorized all the steps but i still failed cut path for some reason dont work i tried several times. Your steps are for little upper level people... i really wanted to enjoy but i pissed off lol
Hi Nick, i was wondering if you could help @6.08 where you cut path, my circles are sporadic and not to the shape of the letter, but i can't for the life of me figure out why - i am following the tutorial step by step bu the cut path is not making the shape of my letter? -HELP?
When I click on cut path, everything is disappearing, I waited an hour thinking it would go back to normal but no luck. Any idea on why it might be happening?
You truly inspire me to switch over to linux. I never thought open source was equivalent or even better than other OS's. I have so many reasons to switch over to Linux, and you just gave me more!
I am just "rediscovering" Inkscape 1.0 by following your tutorials and from 05:33 it doesn't work. I have a letter and line path and clicking cut path, nothing happens (I have a strong PC, and even so I gave him a minute, still nothing). This new Inkscape is driving me mad.

Hi, I did this. Now when I have a letter like H The paths passing through the centre are continuous from the left of H to the right Side, Passing throught the middle " - " These paths appear thinner than the other paths which don't pass from one side to another. How to fix that ?
@@megaraitei If I'm not mistaken there are dots on each end of a line in the letter shape. You can click on each dot individually and just press delete or backspace on mac and that should delete the access lines
This video is EPIC. I was always wondering if there were a CROP-select type tool to delete unwanted entities. Just found out about SHIFT-ALT > red line. Thanks Nick!!
Hi. My comment does not have nothing to do with this video i just i hope you can see my question. Do you know if in inkscape can apply or create a lenticular design? And do you know how to do it? Thank you 👍🏻❤️
was trying to do a cross thatch thing today and thought of this video... I don't quite get group, combine, and when to object to path. like here, you cut path on 2 objects. I'll get it. I have a new skill and art form bc of you
How come this doesn't work with more than 1 letter? I tried with a word, but when I use the Cut Path option, it only leaves the shape of a single letter
Lots of likes for this tut, dojng this in 1.1 inkscape Also hint that you can select all the line nodes by pressing shift and clicking line ends, then press control and drag above the selected node and join them to make lines pointy
umm, there are only two nodes for each line, each of them in the edge. so I cant make my line like your line in the video. So, why my lines only have two nodes?
I am trying to cut path both the font and the lines are object to path but when i select cut path, it says "one of the object is not a path, cannot perform boolean operation" HELP
Hey Nick, would you ever consider making a dedicated video about shading in inkscape? I tried to see if you had any tutorials, but the closest two that I found where demonstrated in your wine glass video, and you soda can video. I been trying to watch a some videos in illustrator, and then try to translate what they say into inkscape speak, but it is still kind of difficult to follow. Thanks for the awesome content!
Tip For your fast forward Part where we have to "join nodes". You can Select multiple Lines with shift and then drag over all nodes you need and press "join nodes".
5:35 Doesn't the 'Path- Intersection' make it easier? It won't have rounded ends but that can be fixed when you're making the other end pointed, right?
Nick you stay with the 🔥 I wonder if you have had any experience with the affinity suite of apps (namely designer since it's a vector drawing program like inkscape). If so could we get a vid with your thoughts on it's mechanics, likes, dislikes, etc.? Thanks again buddy!
One of the things that I like about Nick's videos is that there is a goal on the video and on the process of going towards the goal, we learn many functions on the way. Do you have any videos where you bend vectors? I am having some trouble bending objects in inkscape. Thanks in advance!
Once again -- You taught me something both graphically useful and then Inkscape related. Holy Crap the method of selecting objects via shift alt made watching this quite worth it. Keep on Going!
I am having trouble with weight and height. Every time I copy/paste the weight number into the height and I press enter the weight number changes. What am I doing wrong? @LogosByNick
Hallo, is there no way of doing these repetitive tasks easier or all at once? I mean like catch the two nodes and put them together? No scripting or macro ? Thank you
Hello Nick, I'm wondering have you ever had problems installing fonts into inkscape? I am using Windows 10 and when I add a new font it will not show up in inkscape do you have a remedy for it? The font will show up in other programs just not inkscape. Thanks Gary
Check out my series of 50+ videos where I explain every tool and feature in Inkscape and demonstrate how it all works: logosbynick.com/inkscape/
can you do that for gimp too?
Sure, already do: logosbynick.com/gimp
Nice vid nick, i have a question tho, why do you prefer duplicating with ctl d, while you can just press space while dragging an object?
Just enrolled. Looking forward to the course! 👍

Shift+Alt+Drag!!!!! Where has that keystroke been my whole life!!! Been needing that one! Thanks. Great work as always!!!
It's a life saver. I'm surprised how handy it is throughout my work day since I found out about it

Wow, i didt expext it.. you are geniues👍
I'm having trouble with cut path!!😭
sorry for late reply but did you convert the letter to object to path and ungroup it?
Someone has a solution for that? Isn't working for me either
Yeah, maybe you all forget to object to path and than ungroup the letter..
To join a whole bunch of nodes all at once - Select everything using Ctrl-A (or clickdrag over everything), then select the "edit paths by nodes" tool so you can see the nodes, then clickdrag over all the nodes you want to join, then press the "Join selected nodes" button.

great tutorial nick!, but why you didnt use the clone tool?
The best inkscape's tutorials..thanks Nick
Excellent as always. But you only need to hold down ALT (not Shift ALT) to select multiple objects with the "red line".
This didn’t work at all for me. The one time I got it to cut made everything disappear. HELP!

Wassup Nick
Is it possible to do this with objects as well
If so how can you do it, and do it on only part of the image and not all of it
shift alt arrow = red line. useful! thx~~~
This hurts now knowing you could use clone and deform to make this much less time consuming
If you have trouble with cut path, select the text and ungroup it then regroup it
That doesn't work for me
After appying cut path, i m not able to dintinguish between letter and lines 🙁
I love it
Can I make not only one letter but whole word by thi method ?
And is the method still the same for it ??
when i cut the path i cant see the letter path that has been cut... so idk which lines to remove :|
Hey nick how do I turn off snapping I use Inkscape but can’t seem to turn snapping off even in document properties , great video btw
