Whenever I try to use the Yggdrasil overlay for clipping, the lines on the outside of the shape are thinner than every other line in the shape. How can I avoid this? I have been beating my head against the wall for hours trying to figure this out and the internet doesn't actually address this issue because making a mandala by hand, then clipping it is clearly not common practice. The attached file is the "outline" I am trying to cut out from an array of similar patterns. whenever I use that import it just kills everything on the screen. When I group those shapes together instead, it creates the thin outer perimeter. No matter how much I change or play with the stroke thickness, on either the "cutout" or the main project, it ALWAYS has that thin outer layer compared to everything else.
@Polygon I was trying to use the green version as my clip setting, over a much larger array of similarly formatted shaped. What I discovered through trial and error was that I had to make the green clip object larger by a slight margin so that it engulfed the edges of the area I wanted to clip. From there it worked. It shouldn't have come to that however, and that is my concern/question.

I can´t see where the clipping goes from your image - but I´m under the impression your snapping is off as I have the lines overlapping perfectly:
I'm not sure if this is because you converted it before uploading, but the attached image is a png ( a bitmap image not a vector ).
It can be clipped, but the stroke thickness cannot be changed because it is not a vector format.

If I want the periphery to be a clipping object, I might go this way
This is on v .92.x , but the new version is somewhat similar... stroke to path is different.
