Any suggestions? Ī suggestion to HeatherYeager that should work, though it is cumbersome. I'm not a complete newbie with graphics applications (I've used Corel Draw, Illustrator, Photoshop, LibreCad, and several others), but finding a simple solution to dealing with this scaling factor issue is driving me nuts. Can you recommend an alternate workflow that will allow the inset/outset path functions to behave reasonably, but still allow direct file import into Inkscape? There hase to be a better way of managing this, but I am at a loss for getting it to work without having to create one extra document as part of the workflow. I save the second document and then import that into Design Space, and Voila! there it is, approximately the right size (but not exact, for some reason). I copy the artwork from the first document, then paste it directly into the second blank document. I have resorted to creating a second Inkscape blank document with units and a scaling factor that works reasonably well with Design Space. I cannot change the scale factor in the Inkscape drawing to one that will work with the Design Space import, as changing the scale factor will change the dimensions of the Inkscape art. Then, when I go to import the SVG drawing with a scale factor of 96 into Design Space, the imported drawing becomes far too large for the canvas. So, when working in inches, I use a scale factor of 96. If I use a different scale factor, especially one that is significantly different from 96 with inches, the outset/inset path simply goes very weird, and is in no way parallel to the original path (and often bears little resemblance to the original path). In order for the path tools to "behave", I need to use a scale factor of 96 when adding these contour lines that are a short distance inside or outside the slected path. I like to use the inset and outset path tools to create a contour line for cutting. By using the proper scaling factor, depending on the units I am working with (inches, by the way), I am able to import a saved SVG file into Design Space and it will appear on the Design Space canvas with the same dimensions as the work created in Inkscape. I am using Inkscape to create line art for use in Cricut Design Space. I'm goiing to add to this thread, since my issue is similar to HeatherYeager's.
