Hey all,
Im trying to create an stencil by drawing some stuff on inkscape, and
then pasting in the pencil, but im facing some issues.

1. I draw an sticky man, in inkscape, copy and paste in the pencil,
the result is a bitmap with white background, see image 1

2. I tried to save the sticky as a plain svg file, but not able to
drag it to the pencil interface, Im using the stand alone version.

thanks
Hamilton

Hello,

I made some tests but no better results ... the background is always
opaque.

Hi,

The thing is that I'm failed in getting the SVG from Inskcape clipboard.
The only thing we have is the bitmap of what is drawn in Inkscape.
More investigation should be done to make it works.

Instead of using the clipboard, can we use an saved svg file ?

Are we talking about pasting?

I tried to paste, and got an opaque background,
and wasn't able to drag an saved plain svg file to pencil.
