    Hi - I have (the attached) vector image (from vecteezy), and I would like to convert it to black and white, and a line drawing, so it is small enough and in the right line draw format for me to use in my whiteboard animation tool. I'm working my way through the tutorials but so far can't find how to make into black and white and line art. I have also attached a sample of a small vector that does work in my whiteboard animation tool, so you can see what I'm aiming for.

    Thanks!

    Kelly

    Hi kfidei!

    If it's black and white you need you can use the color extensions (Extension > Color > Black and White) for stroke only drawing you can try setting the fill to white or transparent and the stroke to black and thick using the fill and stroke dialog.

    1. I selected the colour vectors and ungrouped them all with CTRL+U
    2. I did CTRL+U several times until all the groups were gone.
    3. Then I selected everything and set the Fill to white colour and the Stroke to black.
    4. See the middle image.
    5. Then I selected the items that I thought should be filled black and gave them a black Fill and no Stroke colour.
    6. See the right hand result.

    Is that what you were looking for @kfidel ?
