Carlosan Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Read more Inkscape is a drawing and painting tool similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Xara X, but with features, new tools, and interface style of its own. It emphasizes the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format, but reads and writes a wealth of other formats including PDF, so it is an easy complement to your other graphics and desktop tools. Best of all, Inkscape is created *by* the community *for* the community: Inkscape is 100% Open Source and freely available to everyone in the world.

Advanced Member Falconius Posted May 12, 2020 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 It's got some really nice new features. A note to those who are upgrading though, go back into preferences and make sure that auto save is still enabled. For some reason when I upgraded mine that got switched off and cost me a couple of hours of work. (of course even though I normally obsessively save, for some reason I didn't and that's obviously when it's going to crash.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
