    Hello,

    I've been making different shapes by stacking various shapes together whileΒ also using other shapes to cut out the difference. I'm left with extra shapes in PDF that don't show up in Inkscape SVG.Β 

    Now the file is a Plain SVG and this means I don't seem to have the ability to un-group the shapes to see what is going on (if that would indeed help). I also can't edit the flattened image.Β 

    The black image in the screenshot is the PDF version and the Blue is obviously the SVG.

    Please let me know if there is more information that is helpful.Β 

    Thanks!

    Hello everyone,

    I don't know if the problem is the same as mine, but I also have strange shapes for my hatching lines when I save the file into pdf version. I have no problem when looking at svg file. That's really anoying, and I beg your help.

    Thanks!

    A small picture should be fine to help understand!
