Beginners' Questions Moving lines to another layer
  1. #1

    Hi there,

    I drew a few lines on Layer2 and would like to move some of them to another Layer1.

    However, when I do this, the lines disappears, as shown in the pictures minimal_step1 - 3. The line still exists, but is invisible. When I click on it, and go to Object -> Fill and stroke, there are the same parameters as the visible lines (fill, stroke paint, stroke style, opacity).

    Why could this be?

    Best regards
    Julia

    Hello when you move to layer for some reason it is adding blur 1.5 at bottom of fill and stroke / stroke style window. You can change to 0.

    Looks like it is from Autodesk Student (edit name) possibly embedding something.

    See also another solution from @TylerDurden here:

    The odd thing is, the filter is on #2, but the blur is not visible. It only becomes visible when the object is moved to #1 (Ungrouped objects inherit styles from the parent group).

    A side issue which may be complicating troubleshooting, is the file comes from Inkscape v 0.92.3.

    I am working on

    macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7
    Inkscape version: 1.0

    and updated now Inkscape to 1.2. The problem still exists, but it's a help to know that some blur is added when copying it. I will check for a solution and post it here, when I find it.

    Probably the easier way to solve it.

    Layers>Layers and Objects. Select the layer.

    Object>Selectors and CSS. Click the trash can on things you don't want. In this case the layer filter.

    I hop between them using Ctrl+Shift+L and Ctrl+Shift+Q

    I don't know what the keys are on mac.
