NC Scroller Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Last year I got a copy of the Ornaments for Charity published by the great folks here at SSV. SHAMEFUL HINT: I hope they do it again. Anyway my wife wants me to cut a couple of the ornaments which have dates on them but of course she wants them to say 2016. Is there a simple way to change them. The document that has the patterns is a PDF file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Scott, if it's a pdf you can open it in Inkscape and edit it. If you don't have Inkscape you can print the pattern, put some masking tape over the 5 in 2015 and either print a 6 to match and stick it on the pattern or just try drawing it on the masking tape. This is the way I would do it if I would be cutting it out once, but if cutting several out I would change it in Inkscape.

fredfret Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Just a suggestion but if the designer includes a set of numbers in the font they used for the pattern it would make it MUCH easier for us pattern making and graphic design software challanged folks. Thanks Fredfret Wichita, ks NC Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, that is probably something I can help you with if you don't think you can do the switch yourself with software you have. Just email me and let me know which ones you are wanting done. I like Fredfret's idea to identify font used or to include full set of numbers when providing dates in patterns to make it easier to switch out. On the "shameful hint" that you hope they do it again - Travis has already posted the thread asking for help in adding new patterns for the "book". He has it "pinned" at the top of the "General Scroll Sawing" category of threads. He has asked for at least 10 volunteers to submit 5 patterns. That would add 50 new patterns to the "book." He's gotten 6 of us to date. Hopefully at least 4 more people will join in. NC Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
