If you still want to crop your objects without deformation, you need to use one of the masking options. It may be difficult to re-edit your file later. Sorry for any spelling errors etc., english is not my first language.Select them all and use “crop” command in the Pathfinder panel.īe careful, this command will divide all your objects into many parts.

I tried to google an answer to this question but I don't know what words to use in my search to get answer to the right issue. Everything over the blue lines should be cropped off (background, chess print, gears etc), so I can use it on other stuff too, but so I can still move every piece separately if I need to.

The blue guide lines close to the edges of page show where the page edges are. So, I need to get everything on the page only to be saved as SVG but so that nothing continues over the edges of the page, is it possible somehow? I have attached a screenshot of my project so you can see what I'm talking about. Now the problem is, I'm supposed to use the finished poster on some other stuff too (program, newspaper ads etc.), including that I could edit it still. When I import it as PNG it works 'cause I can select it to be just the page. Now I have designed this poster where other elements too go over the edge. Usually when I design a page, I draw background (for example) fairly over the document edges, because sometimes when I print it could be like 1mm short of the edge, so I do this to avoid that. I usually do kinda easy stuff, not very compilcated design projects, so I can work with Inkscape but I'm no master in it.

I've been using Inkscape for a couple of years, every once in a while to design posters etc.
