It looks like we're all going to be doing some experimentation.The icon pack can be downloaded here: inkscape-icons-2019.zip If you have zoomed in on an object, you can center that in your window without altering the zoom you have. Now there is also a tool that allows you to center your zoomed object in the window. You might have noticed a new tool up in the toolbar with the Zoom buttons (Zoom to fit selection in window, Zoom to fit drawing in window, and Zoom to fit page in window). It's a checkbox saying Enable snapping in new documents. In Edit > Preferences > Behavior > Snapping, a new option was added to disable snapping in new documents or files that are opened with Inkscape for the first time. The circle that you use can be made larger or smaller by pressing Edit > Preferences > Rendering > Rendering XRay radius. X-ray view is found in the View menu or can be activated by pressing + 6. Split view is found in the View menu or can be activated by pressing + 6. X-ray view puts a resizable transparent circle on the drawing that lets you look past all the color and only at the frames of each object. The line can be moved left & right or up & down using your mouse. Split view divides your page in half and shows one side as it is, and the other side with just the frames of your objects without the colors. With the Split View and the X-ray, you can see them and it will be easier to grab the one you want and edit it, without having to use trial and error to grab what you want or unlayer objects to find the correct one. My daughter has an older Wacom Bamboo (CTH-661) and the pinch-to-zoom works when it's connected to my husband's laptop running PCLinuxOS Xfce.īoth of these tools make it easier to see what you have in your drawing, especially if you have several things stacked. My laptop touchpad doesn't work, but you should try yours. On supported hardware (trackpad, touchpad, multi-touch screen), the canvas can be zoomed with the two-finger pinch gesture. Unlock objects below (the mouse cursor).Unhide objects below (the mouse cursor).The menu that appears after a right-click on the canvas has been extended at the bottom with the following items, which makes locking/unlocking and hiding/unhiding individual objects much easier: right-aligned, left-aligned, justified) have been combined into drop-down lists, so they now take up less space. Some control buttons that have been mutually exclusive (e.g. You can choose icons, smaller icons or a list (which has icons on the left end of the description). In the box above, you can see three different ways to display the effects (top center of window). Now they are in a different window that shows a sample of the effect, so you know you are getting the right one. In previous versions, the window only had a list of the live paths you could choose. Then just select any path and hit the "+" icon to Add Path Effect, which brings up this window shown below. If you want to tinker around with these, select Path > Path Effects to bring up the menu. The live path effects tool has been changed considerably. Here you can change the entire way Inkscape looks and adjust icon themes and sizes separately. Now you can just go to Edit > Preferences, select the Interface drop down, and select Theme. If you hold down the Shift key, it aligns to center vertically.Įarlier, there were only one or two ways to personalize certain things on your Inkscape interface, without actually hazarding a trip to root and file alteration. Clicking the square aligns horizontally to center. The square in the center is the align center. The ones on the sides, top and bottom are to align left and right, top and bottom. The ones in the corners align the objects to that corner. You'll notice the handles are different now. After that, the window won't need to be opened.Ĭlicking the selection 3 times shows the handles (click 1 is select/resize, click 2 is rotate, and click 3 is align) To enable this, open Object > Align and Distribute and toggle the on-canvas button, located just under the word Align in the tool window. On-canvas alignment allows you to use many alignment options on the fly, rather than opening another window with Align & Distribute. The bottom right corner of your window now has a box labeled "R" that shows your angle of rotation. While pressing +, scroll with your mouse to rotate the canvas to your desired angle. Nice! A cool feature I never knew I wanted. Reading the release notes, we can see that there are several new features.
