garfi3ld 0 Posted October 11, 2013 My setup used to work and I recently went to create a vector to cut out a sticker and when I click trace to path or stroke to path in Inkscape now nothing at all opens up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but haven't had any luck at all. I was hoping someone may have seen this issue before and might have a suggestion or two.

garfi3ld 0 Posted October 11, 2013 The file that it happens on? It happens on any and every file. Including files that I have pathed in the past Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kal259 18 Posted October 11, 2013 I know this may sound silly, but is the bitmap selected before your try to use the trace bitmap function. I have also had problems with a few bitmaps in the past not tracing, my solution was to open it in Photoshop, or Gimp and turn it solid black with a white background.

darcshadow 1,625 Posted October 14, 2013 Are you trying to trace a bitmap, or convert a stroke to a path? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garfi3ld 0 Posted October 14, 2013 I've tried both. The issue is normally when I select one of those options a popup with come up and now nothing I do will get that to pop up. I do make sure that the object is selected as well. It works on other PCs around my office, just not on the PC that I need it to work on. I thought maybe it was related to me uninstalling signcut, but even after reinstalling it I have this problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,625 Posted October 14, 2013 The stroke to path doesn't open a popup, it just converts the stroke you have selected into a path. The trace bitmap should open a window though. Have you tried reinstalling inkscape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garfi3ld 0 Posted October 16, 2013 Yeah I reinstalled without any luck, I'm at a loss on what is preventing it from coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
