Hello my friends, greetings from Colombia. I have two questions. Can you tell me why sometimes I can't combine files and It appears as shown on these screenprints? Am I doing something wrong? and second, Why sometimes when i pass bitmap files to Inkscape for vectorizing the size of the file is automatically increase in size at least three times. This is most inconvenient. Thank you so much.
When you combine paths, as explained by Polygon, the combined path gets the style of the upper path, as shows Polygon's gif. As he shows, the text has a black fill and no stroke, the parts have no fill and a red stroke.
If you want one unique path for the texts and the parts, you'll have to right clic on a red stroked path, do select same > stroke color (to me, there are many shades of red, this might not completely work) and do path > stroke to path and turn the fill to black), then you can combine text and parts.

The Z-order and Style is important:
And images are displayed based on there dpi-setting; the lower the value the larger the image is displayed and vice versa.

Thank you very much. I'll try to apply your suggestions. I appreciate this very much.
