Computer questions / Re: Large pattern making

don in brooklin on,

Thanks for your response. I'll see if I can find a similar feature on my system. I work mostly on a Linux computer, so I am pretty limited to open source tools. However I do have a windows PC if I have to use Acrobat. If I find something interesting I'll post it here.

So the only viable option for Linux I found was "pdfposter". It almost does the job, but not quite. I guess I'll be using Windows for this particular task.

Computer questions / Large pattern making

I've been using Inkscape to come up with some designs I want to try out. Mostly signs/plaques. However, keeping the design to a single page would result on very small signs. I wanted to know how designers go about splitting designs across multiple pages since Inkscape only really supports one page. Ultimately I want to put all the pages together into a PDF I can print when I'm ready.

Hello. I have been primarily looking at scrollsaw work for a while. Since I have not been able to make it to the shop I've spent a bunch of time "designing" (?) stuff for my kids that I'll eventually get to. It seems that I get some satisfaction from simply figuring out how to use inkscape. I'm hoping this social distancing lets me distance my self into the shop.
