Time for action — modifying an existing Inkscape template
To modify an existing template:
- Open the template that most resembles the new one you would like to create.
- Modify the Document Properties (choose File and then Document Properties or use the Shift + Ctrl/Option + D keyboard shortcut) or other settings applicable to the template you want to create, as shown in the following screenshot:
- From the main menu, choose File and then Save As, choosing to save the file to your computer operating system's Inkscape template directory.
- Once saved, restart Inkscape and go to the main menu. Select File and then New—and the new custom template should be in the submenu.
What just happened?
We modified an existing template in Inkscape to use as a base for others. We then saved the template so we can use it for other projects.
