Alternatively the ellipse-shaped bezier curves can be scaled by going to Path>Path Effects... (Shift+Ctrl+7) and adjusting the width. By default a width of 1.000 equals 10 pixels.

Hi, Nick, I'm so glad to have found you on KZitem. I've already watched a couple of your videos and have already expanded my knowledge of Inkscape in very meaningful ways. I've been using it for almost a year. I design cut files to be used on home hobby cutting machines like ScanNCut, Cricut, and Cameo. Have you ever done or would you consider doing a video on the most efficient way to turn the photo of a person into a design that could be cut as a decal? I've been experimenting but I'm hoping there's a quicker, more efficient way to to what seems to be a tedious process. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy going through your videos to see what I can learn about design composition and ease of use in Inkscape. Thanks so much for taking your time to make these videos.

For anyone having trouble getting the stroke size to increase when downsizing, another way to get a similar effect is by selecting everything and clicking path union. Then click on the object and press control and 0 at the same time. This will create a offset from the shape each time you do this. Hope this helps!

Hi Nick, I am a complete nube to using inkscape. actually to most design software. I can build and repair computers no problem but not software. I am running windows 10, and Inkscape 0.91 A lot of the shortcuts don't work? is this a setting or the version I am using? for example pressing 1 does nothing in Inkscape? or using the delete key? I have to right click and use the drop down. Thank you for your videos and great work. some of them are too fast for me to follow but I am getting there slowly.

If not, try posting about it on the forum and seeing if someone can help. Sorry I couldn't help any further than that.

I'm using the current version, 0.92 and when I resize the image my lines are resizing in proportion even though the button "when scaling objects, scale the stroke width by the same proportion" is off. It also does this when it is on, its state seems to make no difference. Is there another setting that I am missing that changes this? I've been poking around for a couple of hours and can't find anything.

Great tutorials Nick! I have greatly enjoyed them. I posted this this comment to your other tutorial about line drawings as well. I did discover through experimentation that if the Bezier Shape is set to None that the resizing node does not show up no matter what you do. I have noticed in the comments that some individuals have had problems getting the node to show and it is possible that this is the reason. The node will show up on any other Shape EXCEPT for None. I have noticed that sometimes Inkscape will switch the shape back to none without any apparent reason (program glitch?) so that is something you may wish to point out if you do any other tutorials about the Bezier tool. I hope that this comment helps anyone who may have had problems getting the node to show up. Someone else may have already pointed this out in your comments (I didn't read every one) but I thought I should mention it to try to help anyone who is having problems.
