Beyond the Basics Stroke alignment

    IS it possible to align the stroke thickness to center, inboard or outboard to the object edge?

    I mean, if I draw a circle and I want say to create a stroke which it's thickness will be centered or outboard or inboard?

    Unfortunately this feature isn‘t available in Inkscape - we just can change the order in the Fill+Stroke panel. Perhaps it will help you already - not sure.

    shlome,  just to let you know I had the same question just now and found your post and the unsatisfactory response.  Seems an obvious thing for a product claiming to be useful for 3d milling.  I hope somebody will work on it.  It's a great project,  thank you all of the people who've been working on it.

    Inkscape makes no claims to be useful for 3D milling. It is neither CAD nor CAM.  🙄

    It is a native SVG editor for 2D vector illustration.

    The SVG format does not support stroke offsets.

    Some 3rd party developers may make extensions that provide functionality beyond the core Inkscape features.

    ok.  sounds like you've never run into such an extension.  The project and the group of people sharing their knowledge are sure a great asset.  I"m glad that I've found it.  It motivated me to spend more time learning to use a new program than I've spent in many years and it has been a lot of fun figuring it out.  The community has made that so.
