This way you’re not restricted to one default template. There are many way you can customize Inkscape to your work flow.Įach of these templates can be set as desktop icons or chosen through the file manager. These along with other changes I'm used to, I'll then save this svg as default.svg in my pictures directory and add a desktop icon. I'll also change "Scrolling" in the preferences dialog for my particular work flow.

Select each shape and use the corresponding dialog in preferences - This tools own style - Take from selection. Now every time I do a project I choose the appropriate “desktop icon template” with their corresponding preferences and window sizes.įor regular projects, I usually set up the rectangle, ellipse, and star, tool tool with no stroke. When I do screencasts, I use a much smaller window size and save as "screencast.svg". It’s simply a matter of setting up an instance of Inkscape for each distinct purpose.įor instance, before I work on a wallpapers project, I set up the preferences and window size that I need and Save As. I, on the other hand prefer to use multiple “default templates” since I use Inkscape for many different projects. You'll probably be directed to save a default templates folder so each time you open Inkscape you'll get the same preferences.
