Hi
I am trying to make a hollow circle. Is this possible in Inkscape or
SCAL? I know I should be able to figure it out but I am becoming
a little frustrated which only makes it harder for me to keep trying.
A included an example in my layout. The large white circle.
Thanks Renee

I would make 2 circles, on inside the other and not weld them. that way it cuts both circles and you will end up with that white section shown on the page, and a large white circle. If you have a use for a large white circle great, but otherwise keep putting circles inside and you will have numerous sizes of your white section shown on the page.

You can use the SHAPE circle.

by hollow circle do you mean a frame?
On the product page there is a tutorial on how to make a frame in Inkscape- just use a circle instead of a square.
In SCAL use the circle from the Shapes library. Draw your circle then in the proprty box insert the width and height of the circle ;copy and paste the circle then insert the measurements for this circle ( make it slightly bigger or smaller).
Use the arrows to move the circles one inside the other and send to cut.

what if you used the letter "O" and just stretched it to be as big as you need it?
