Dash Patterns from Inkscape : hilarious !
Fairly strange behaviour ! Hilarious and interesting !!!
Inkscape is very nice for creating customised dash patterns. At one time I forgot changing line to shapes before exporting them to pdf ... and I was amazed !
If I export lines with dash patterns from Inkscape through pdf they open very well in Xara with they original dash pattern created inside Inkscape.
But if I increase the line width in Xara like on the picture below, the dots count doesn't decrease and they became very wide strips !
Unfortunately if I try to convert line to shapes in Xara the dash pattern disappears ...
But fortunately, if I export the dashed lines to ai and re-import them into Xara, then I CAN CHANGE LINE TO SHAPE AND PRESERVE THE STRIPS !!!
I also tried to increase the line width in Inkscape and then the dots count decreases ...
Perhaps dash patterns in Xara doesn't match eps or svg specifications and that's what causes this strange behaviour. However that's a very cool combination.
kindly,
ivan
