I m creating a graphic with Inkscape to use with my LaserCut.

So this is the current situation:

inkscape_1_kK1mOYy.png

Now I need to JOIN text Happy with cirle but if I try to select text Happy and Circle after that Trace JOIN I see this:  "inkscape_2_AoQ08NX.png"

As you can see the text is OVER the cirle I need that the circle is OVER the text.

I attached also svg file

Path->Combine the circle with the other parts excluding text. Then make sure Text object ist converted with Path->Union - then select all and go again Path->Union.

I tried your suggestion but the text is union with the circe but OVER so the circle where the letters are will be cut (Letter H and y)

so the circle where the letters are will be cut

„Easter“ is not united.

I‘m back in Studio in 2hs to upload screenshots.

Ok thanks I tried to Union also Easter text then I select Happy path, Easter path and cirle path then Trace - > UNION but the text cut the circle.

Again: select everything exklusive Text and Go Path->Combine. Same with the 2 converted Text Elements. Then add select Frame plus Text and Go Path->Union.

Maybe this:

thanks I fixed my issue
