Want to support the development of more free tools?
These free tools take up a large amount of my limited personal time, so any support is greatly appreciated!
A extension for Inkscape that takes a path and outputs a straight line from it, optionally adding width and offset (e.g. a seam allowance) to it. Nearly 1-click pattern making.
Get the extension for free and open source at Github
Installation
Add the .inx and .py files to your Inkscape user extensions folder. You can find this by opening Inkscape Preferences (Edit-Preferences) and selecting the System tab. Restart Inkscape and the extension will appear under Extensions – Prickly Gorse – Quick Measure.
Usage
Select your path (or multiple individual paths) and run the extension (Extensions – Prickly Gorse – Quick Measure).
Shapes need to be converted to paths (Object – Object to Path).
I’d love to see the awesome stuff you make with the extension!
