Frame question

[thobritt03]

This might be an Inkscape question, but I am trying to make a frame for my kids’ school photos that I have seen on Esty. But for some reason I cannot get the letters attached to each from slot. Does anyone know how to do this?

Welcome to the forum.

I believe your challenge is with Inkscape. A photo of what you are trying to create would help us help you. Also, Logos By Nick is a great source for Inkscape tutorials.

I don’t understand what you are saying.

Welcome to the forum! If I’m reading your question correctly, I think this will get you down the right path:

Inkscape help

I give up !! been trying for over a week, spent several hours (or more) trying to do this in Corel or inkscape with no luck. Silhouette Designer does it with one button (Weld) but similar on inkscape and corel do everything but… Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I’m trying to go from the font vector [image] put a box on it and cut/create the lines for: [image] weld union difference tried all variations with grouping ungrouping, convert to path, and every variation in between with no luck……

Yes, that was a very confusing question now that I’m reading it again. In this project, the letters for each grade (1, 2, 3…) are cut out with the frame. When I try to do this in Inkscape, it doesn’t union the letter with the frame. That’s what I’m struggling with.

I think you select the number and the frame and select union. Maybe this will help: inkscape how to union - Google Search

@dklgood

select the number

This, except in Inkscape you have to turn the number from a piece of text to a shape first!
Click it, then click the Path menu, and then Object to Path - then grabbing it and the frame (as long as they are touching) can Union (also in the Path menu).
