Hi everyone i am new to inkscape. i am currently trying to create bridges between two circles. I have about a 4 inch circle then a 3 inch circle inside of it and i want to make a bridge from the outside to the inside. Both circles are paths and i combined them but for some reason when i add the rectangle to the two circles and try to use difference it gets rid of the inside circle. It seems to work fine when i do the same thing with text. any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Reverse the direction of the inner Path; select one node and go Path->Reverse and try again.
Or design the donut shape using difference (the smallest circle must be atop) instead of combining them, the result will be the same (inner subpath will not have the same orientation as outer subpath).
BTW : enable Always Show oultines and Show path direction on outlines in inkscape preferences (Edit > Preferences) > Tools > Node Tools.

Reversing the path seemed to work! Thank you very much that has been driving me nuts! Thanks again
