Can someone help me with this?

Post by sungodis »

OK, I have come up with an inkscape svc file. The only problem is that I want the smaller circles to be cut out of the big one, does that make sense. So it will have a scallop type edge. But I can't seem to figure out how to do that. This is my first thing and I think it was a doozy! :) If someone could explain it to me that would be awesome!

Awesome! Yeah, thanks! :) I couldn't get the other one tweaked well enough, so I tried to start from scratch. Except that was just as hard. lol Anyways, I really appreciate it!

I use Illustrator. Heathor has some Inkscape tutorials and SCAL tutorials that will help you.

If you are using inkscape .47 what you do is all your little circles like you did and your large.. Click all the little circles and go path/union then click the little ones and large one and click path/difference :D
