Re: Personalized Christmas Ornament - Add your own name
I just go to the text tool on the left and on the top is a drop down for Fonts. I use Rockwell bold for these. Then type in the NAME required. Adjust to fit the "blankornament". I adjust the size of what I need into the box. Object to Path. Then you can adjust each letter size such as the small letter " i " you have to get the top of the ' i ' to not fall out (using the node tool). I also drop the 'y' down past the box. Then you would do Path => Combine. I am not as good as acourtjester in explaining this. Sorry if I confused you.

Re: Personalized Christmas Ornament - Add your own name
This is a really cute project. I am really new to this, and was going to try and follow your tutorial on inkscape, but I cannot seem to find the original ornament file to add my name to it. Can you help with a DXF file?
Thank you,
MAJ B

Grab the SVG for inkscape if you can. Save the blank ornament off. Then when adding the name open the blank ornament and after you are done with the names save it off as something else like the name you put in the box.

Re: Personalized Christmas Ornament - Add your own name
Im curious as well. I usually end up fiddling with it (inkscape) and I eventually get it to union but never remember what I did to get it to work. Seems all the youtube videos are for the older version of inscape.

Re: Personalized Christmas Ornament - Add your own name
Ok I'm going to rip all my hair out soon. Last night I had it figured out, did it several times, wrote down the steps, followed them to a T and tonight union-ing letters to a design is not working. So far, either nothing happens at all, or most of the design disappears. What exactly are the requirements for a "union" to properly work?

Re: Personalized Christmas Ornament - Add your own name
Just tried this step by step. It did nothing. I kept screwing around and finally got it. After ungrouping the text (that was already turned into a path) and the main image, it worked.adbuch wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 8:13 pmUnion 1.jpgUnion 2.jpgUnion 3.jpgUnion 4.jpgUnion 5.jpgPyro1983 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 5:36 pm Ok I'm going to rip all my hair out soon.
