ok- i actually made a sunshine like i want. used INK - drew a circle - used bezier tool and drew rays. selected all - combined - and two rays combined and the rest did not. WHAT HAPPENED.?
I don't know how to save a pic and put here. the doc extension would not work.

here's a photo of your sun. unsure what your question is?
People here will help in anyway they can

I'm not sure what happened in Ink. My solution was to unfill all the artwork, draw a slightly larger circle and add to the shape area and expand.

thanks Todd. the thing is- i don't even know how it got filled

oh- and how did u post the photo. i did "print scrn" but it wouldn't work?

You used Path/Combine instead of Path/Union. Path/Combine just makes everything into one object, it leaves all of the nodes/cutlines there. Path/Combine can be undone at any point, since nothing is lost/removed.

Path/Union is like welding, only it's permanent since it removes nodes/cutlines and can't be undone after you close the file. HTH

Heather - that ans. a million and one questions. THANK YOU. i always wondered what the diff. was and also is that why once you do Path/Union and save - then u can't go back and change it since the nodes were removed? hmm cool

Yep. That's why I tend to keep a "parts" version of a file and a "cut" version. The "parts" version doesn't have anything unioned together, the "cut" version has a union done as a final step in preparation for SCAL.
