Easy way to Union all objects??

Post by monicaFHM »

Is there an extension or way to union things musch easier and faster than selecting each and every object? Example - if i type out a cursive word that is really 6 invidual letters, I need to union all of these to cut out as one sign on my CNC table. Software wise, For example, In Sihloutte studio you can just select All, and hit Weld. That will make it one unifed object. So far inkscape I have to select each letter one by one then union.

yes when you have the letters you want that are a path you can use the select tool and place it near your letters then pull a box around all the letters and go to path then click union it will make them one. You could also use the combine tool under path doing the same thing.
