It's a far more intuitive software package than illustrator and has reduced the amount of time it takes me to create my decal art by many hours. Is it just me finding this? Is it a known problem?īeyond that, Inkscape has been a great tool. This causes all sorts of problems because I end up having to go back and recheck every single graphic to ensure that they're properly sized and is very prone to error (and errors are very expensive). 781inches when loaded or copied into Illustrator. 625inches in diameter in Inkscape ends up being. The Inkscape art is always 25% larger when in Illustrator. But worse, the artwork never comes out at the same size. In both cases the layers I have are lost and I have to relayer the art. Copy/Paste the art from Inkscape into Illustrator.

So the last thing I have to do in my art process is do one of two things I do all my artwork in Inkscape however the company that does the printing will only accept Illustrator files.

I own a small company that creates decals for scale model aircraft. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this post, if not, please move it to the correct location.
