Inkscape-- convert text to object, dynamic offset. Shift+Ctrl+C failed?

Tags:

inkscape

I met a problem when I try to

1> convert a text line into object, apply Path > Object to Path (or Shift+Ctrl+c),

2> then appy 'Path>Dynamic offset' (or Ctrl+J).

The text line (let's say "test") can be converted to path. But when I apply Dynamic offset, nothing happens. Normally I will see a tiny small rectangular on the edge of text, but this time I don't see it. Is it because I've changed somewhat default parameter set of Inkscape?

I've done it through:

1> apply text 'Path > Object to Path'

2> Ungroup it 'Ctrl+U'.

3> select all the single letter, apply 'Path > Combine' (Ctrl+K)

Now I can apply Dynamic Offset to the text now.

Thus, any suggestions?

First, enter your line of text, and then go to the Path menu and choose “Object to Path“. Inkscape will then convert each letter into its own shape. You can then use the Node tool to modify any of the points on any character.

first Ctrl+K (path combine), then Ctrl+J (dynamic offset) will work.
