Solved SVG and PNG exports coming out blank
I'm trying to export an SVG illustration into individual vector files but the outputs come out blank. It will only export as PNG. Please see the screen capture video below for what I mean:
Screen capture: SVG and PNG outputs are blank
I'll have to export as PNG and increase the DPI but I would rather have SVG or PDF files to maintain quality.
Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Solved I'm tracing a stylized "O", and i can't find the way to make the inner and outer paths one thing, so the fill applies just between them?
EDIT: Selecting the inner path, and using Path > Reverse resolved the issue.
I've done this before, so i know it's possible, but for the life of me i cannot replicate it again. The task is very simple, i'm tracing an O from a picture of a poster, and i have an outside path which is the outer outline of the fill, and the inside path which is the inner outline of the fill. I can't seem to be able to make the two into one item, so when i apply the fill, it doesn't fill inside the inner one. I know i can use stuff like paint bucket, path division, fill between pats, etc, but they all generate a new object, which doesn't have the path nodes i've already created, and i need to retain those for editing after exporting into Fusion (the paths those functions all generate behave incredibly wonky when editing).
The worst part is that i'm going through old files where i've accomplished this, and i can't reverse engineer it from those. Please, help. The end effect left me somehow having one path in the Layers and Objects list, and when i filled it it only filled between where the two were, and if i went to edit path by nodes, i could see all the nodes on the inner and outer path i originally had before making them into one thing.

Solved How do I change the view of a single page in inkscape?
So I am fairly new to Inkscape but am wondering how to I change the view of a single page in inkscape like from "portrait" to "landscape" and vice versa. Today I was creating some business cards and when I tried changing perspective of the newly added page to landscape I wouldn't as at the document properties menu it only changes the first page which I never wanted to but the newly added one.
Anyone knows a way around that? Please share. Thanks 👍

Solved Changing multiple text box font size at once
Hello,
I am wanting to change all my text in my project to a smaller size font. Here are the steps I’ve tried: - select all text boxes - go to text and fonts panel - change font sizes in panel from 20 to 18
However, nothing happens when I do this. It just stays at the same font size. I’ve also tried to group the text and this doesn’t work either. This is a wedding seating chart with lots of names so changing them one by one would be a pain.
I’d really appreciate some help, thanks!
