Reply With QuoteAlso if you're going from Inkscape to Gimp you can import SVG files directly, including path information. I've been using "Open as Layer" to bring Inkscape stuff into Gimp.
I don't have a problem with angled shapes, as I usually create selection orthogonally to the size desired then rotate the selection to the desired angle.
For more complicated things I use paths....but then if I'm doing alot of path-work I just switch to Inkscape for that part, as it is (imoo) soooo much easier to use than the gimp path tools.

Using the Path Menu you can just import the SVG path info without creating a new layer, too. You can then turn the paths into selections, fill them, stroke them, etc, etc.Originally Posted by mthomas768
