I am trying to similate some hand writing on my plotter. I use my Microsoft surface to write a hand written note with Inkscape and then I try to plot it.
it seems to work except it doesn't plot my signature the way/order I would write it on paper. It is almost as if it is writing it backwards. This means the start and stop of the Bic pen looks funny and not real. imagine if you wrote your signature backwards. Is there a way to get it plot the exact same same way it was written with the digital pen?
Hi TonyMah, You could try reversing the direction of the path with Shift+R.
If you turn on the path indicator in the preferences, you can see the direction of the path. Ctrl+Shift+P > Tools > Node > Show path direction on outline.
