Here are the combination of keys to support the outer handle edits: The outer handle can edit the roll/unroll of the spiral, can snap angle, scale, rotate and lock the outer radius. Dragging the handles lengthens and shortens the spiral. The Spiral Tool has two shape handles an outer (◇) handle and an inner (◇) handle. ⇧ Shift+ Drag edits the rounding of the tip handle, while Alt+ Drag will randomize the tip handle. Ctrl+ Drag the tip handle in order to resize the polygon without rotating it. The Polygon Tool only has one shape handle, the single tip ( ⃟ ) handle can be used to lock the tip radius (rotation). Ctrl+ Drag the tip handle in order to stretch the star without rotating, and Ctrl+ Drag the base handle to change the ratio of the two handles without skewing. The Star Tool has two shape handles, one tip ( ⃟ ) handle for tip adjustment, and one base ( ⃟ ) handle for base radius editing. To switch between creating a Star and Polygon, click either the star-shaped or polygon-shaped icon in the Tool Controls bar of the Star/Polygon tool. Stars and Polygons Stars and Polygons tool Alt+ Click one of the circle handles to completely close the ellipse.
INKSCAPE DRAWING FILTER SETTINGS UPDATE
Mouse-over 🖰 your cursor on one of the square or circle handles and the Statusbar (bottom center) message will update and display the handle's available edits and any Ctrl, ⇧ Shift, and Alt key edits (if available).ĭragging the circle handles outside the ellipse makes a segment (pie chart) dragging them inside creates an arc. The ellipse tool has a total of four handles: two square handles control the size and aspect ratio two circle handles control the angle of the arc. To draw an ellipse, circle, or an arc select the Ellipse Tool, and drag from the top left to the bottom right. To select only one side of a 3D box, Ctrl+ Click it.Įllipses Ellipse, Circles and Arcs tool yellow lines reflect the Z direction (depth).blue lines reflect the Y direction (height).red lines reflect the X direction (width).These edit lines are shown in different colors, so that users can distinguish one line from another: Inkscape is a two dimensionial x/y vector editor, there is no 'z' axis within Inkscape.Įach dimension can lie on either parallel or converging edit lines. The 3D Box tool is an easy way to create a nearly 3-dimensional shape. The tool tips are dynamic and will change based on (1) current edit being performed (2) mouse-over 🖰 of one the shape handles (3) press and hold one of the three command keys (Ctrl, Shift and Alt) will update with the associated tool tip, i.e., while in the Rectangles and Squares tool hold the Ctrl key and the tool-tip message will update.ģD Boxes 3D tool, with x,y,z shape handles
Rectangle: Statusbar highlighting of Tool Tip messageĬommand keys (Ctrl, Shift and Alt) based Tool-Tip messages can be read at the bottom center of the user interface in the Statusbar. You can also Right-Click a numeric-value box for a pop-up menu of pre-set values. To reset the corner rounding use the Rectangle's Tool Controls bar, and click the 'make corners sharp' button, last item on the Tool Controls bar.įor help with the Rectangle and Circle's Tool Controls bar features, mouse-over 🖰 a button or numeric-value box for a pop-up message. Another option for rounding is to use the Rx and Ry numeric-value boxes on the Rectangle's Tool Controls bar. To make the corner rounding the same (even) Ctrl+ Drag one of the rounding handles (⭘), as the handle is moved from the corner the other rounding handle will move at the same ratio. Hold both ctrl and shift while dragging a square handle (☐) Ctrl+ ⇧ Shift+ Drag to draw a integer-ratio square or rectangle from its center. Hold shift while dragging a square handle (☐) ⇧ Shift+ Drag to draw a square/rectangle from the center out. Hold ctrl while dragging one of the square handles (☐) Ctrl+ Drag to create a width to height integer-ratio square or rectangle (e.g. The two square handles (☐) control the size (width/height) and the two round handles (⭘) control corner rounding (Rx/Ry). The Rectangles and Squares tool has a total of four shape handles.
