Track of your settings (on Shift tab, Color tab, etc.). If you are tile-cloning many objects in a drawing, keep Meantime, you'll need to change back to the settings you want for

If you've changed settings for tiling some other object in the.

(which allows you to select objects under an object) or to select it TwoĮasy ways to select the original are to Alt-click on the object

Remember the original will be under the first tiled clone, so justĬlicking on it will select the first clone, not the original.

True no matter what other cloning or manipulations you've done since How many tiled clones it has (bottom left corner of dialog).

When you select the original, the Tiled Clones dialog will tell you.

As long as you have your original object selected, the Tiled Clonesĭialog can remove them and recreate, along with any changes you make.

If you have tiled a 3x3 array of clones and decide you wanted a 4x3 set, simply change the Tiled Clones dialog to 4 rows, select your original, and then click the Remove button, then the Create button. It's true that an object can only have one set of tiled clones, but there are easy options for different needs: The results can be unexpected sometimes.Īs far as your question about adding an extra object to your set of clones, it depends on what kind of adding you want to do. So if you have clones of your clones, your clones are also 'originals' for that next generation of clones, and those clones will move too, by whatever amount and manner is determined in your drawing. Keep in mind that if you set the clones to move when the original does, that applies to all clones. For example if you have rotated a clone, that will be in the transform (which can be seen in the XML editor) and the rotation will factor in to how the clone moves when you move the original. Move according to Transform (which can get really funky if there's a complex transform that's been applied to the clone. Move in Parallel (which is the one you are wanting) The default behavior in Inkscape is for the clones to not move when the original is moved.īut if you go to the Edit > Preferences dialog (or Shift-Ctrl-P), in the Behavior > Clones section, the first item is ' Moving Original'. Actually, you can have your clones do exactly what you're describing.
