Stamp Objects Around A Circle Using Inkscape

In previous tutorials I’ve gone over a method for duplicating objects around a circle where an object is rotated and stamped in multiple places. This is a really useful technique for any Inkscape user to know, and I’ve had a lot of people ask me how to do something like this in the past, so I feel like it deserves a tutorial of its own.
In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can duplicate objects around a circle using Inkscape. For this technique we’ll be using the Select Tool to rotate the object and stamp it in multiple place.
Want to learn more about how Inkscape works? Check out the Inkscape Master Class - a comprehensive series of over 50 videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Inkscape and explain what it is, how it works, and why it's useful: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

    in new inkscape you can also use path effect 'routate copies'. it's non destructive and you can set any number of copies around given point.

    3:13 If you need something other than 15°-increments (e.g. you want 10 copies at 36° steps), the Rotate tab in the Transform panel also respects the offset rotation centre. So basically after you have set up the centre and typed in the correct rotation angle, hit CTRL/D to make a copy, then click Apply to rotate the copy, CTRL/D and Apply again to rotate the copy of the copy, and so on until you complete the circle.

I would be creating a basic rectangular design with rounded corners and adding a pocket at either end and then stitching holes that would line up with both the main panel and the pocket. My question is, do you already have a video(s) that you would suggest just showing those basic things or even better one specific for that? Subscribed! Thanks

    From what I notice, only if you are holding the left click on the object is that the spacebar stamp will work. If you just have the object selected, but no mouse down event (clicking and holding) on it, no stamps are made.

    there is an arrange command. First, to create a leaf, 1. use pencil and ellipse shape to draw one(or whatever) second, align, 1. keep pressing ctrl+d to copy the leaf until you are tired 2. select all leaves, goto object -> arrange, under rectangular grid, make them stack into either one column or one row, and adjust corresponding row spacing or column spacing, basically you want leaves to line up 3. group the leaves temporarily 4. create a circle with the radius of the alignment 5. put the circle at the center of the leaves lineup group, turn on snap object center to help 6. select all objects, and go to object -> arrange, under polar coordinate, 6.1. since now the circle and the leaves group has the same center, choose either objects' bounding boxes or objects' rotational center, 6.2. set arrange on last selected circle(or the first selected), 6.3 you might want to check the rotate object option 6.4 now click arrange and voila, you have leaves line up around around the circle perfectly

  • @chrishuhn5065

    @chrishuhn5065

    3 жыл бұрын

    You'd have to resize your objects, because dpi and pixel size are (always) related. Imagine you have a 100x100 pixel image at 100 dpi. Then your 10,000 pixel square has a size of exactly 1 inch when printed (or shown on a 100dpi screen). If you turn the dpi up to 300 there must be 200 extra pixels in each axis to fill the same ammount of space (1 square inch), so your square has now a size of 300x300 pixels. If you'd only increase the dpi without adding the extra pixels then your square shrinks to 1/3 inch when printed. 4500 x 5400 @ 300dpi would be 15 x 18 inch. So select the rectangle tool, set the unit to inch and draw a 15 x 18 inch rectangle. Resize your design so it fits inside this rectangle. Easiest way would be to group your whole design, copy the rectangle and paste the size (the longer dimension) on your grouped design.
