i am very new to Inkscape and I am really struggling with paths and all the union / intersection / exclusion / division tools. When I take two objects (for example a rectangle and a circle), I turn them into a path and then I can use the union / intersection (...) tools. Basic.
But when I ad a letter or any pattern, something really weird happens. When I select my letter and any other shape, and when I turn them into a path, it says that there is no object to convert into a path. Ok, cool. But when I select the letter and another shape to use the union / intersection (...) tools, it says that there is an object that is not converted into a path...?? so it says the exact opposite than 2sec before... It happens on different versions so I don't think that it is a bug. Can anyone explain me ?
