Could someone please let me know how to solve this?
Trying to get this pattern inside this circle like shown in the images below, but when I put the circle on the pattern (that I created with duplicate lines), select all, then go to "Path" --> "Intersection," the whole thing just disappears.
The best way (from many) depends on the destination of the design: print, cutter, web, or....?
Thanks, Tyler. I'm trying to make my own design by duplicating lines, then putting a circle on top, but when I go to "Path" --> "Intersection," both the lines and the circle disappear.
In fact, this happens. An alternative would be to use the circle with a clip... the only problem is that the outline of the circle disappears, but this can be solved. if you want to try, I did it like this:
1) With the circle and lines created, select the circle and position it over the lines... until it looks the way you want;
2) With the circle still selected, duplicate it (Ctrl+D) and cut it (CTRL+X). In the layers dialog on the left, create a new layer and go to Edit > Paste in Place. Lock this new layer (by clicking on the lock icon) and hide it;
3) Select the original circle and lines. Go to Object > Clip > Set Clip. The lines will stay inside the circle... but the circle will lose its outline.
4) Remember the hidden and locked layer? The circle outline is on it: just unhide the layer and unlock it. after that you can cut from that layer (Ctrl+X), select the other figures layer and go to Edit > Paste in Place...
It seems to me that maybe they are strokes instead of paths, if you convert it, maybe it will work. But @Guerreiro64's idea of the clip is a good one, because it remains editable

Hello,
Could someone please let me know how to solve this?

Thank you, Noob

Thank you very much! 😁
Glad you resolved it. 🙂 There must be a way to do this without losing the outline of the circle. Maybe in Path Effects or in Extensions...
Unfortunately I don't remember. There's this tutorial... but the result is pretty much the same.
Cool, Thanks again, Guerreiro.
