Earlier this year when Inkscape released version 1.0 they made a rather significant change to how one of the core path operations works, namely stroke to path. This change was significant enough that it actually broke some of my old tutorials, so I just wanted to post a quick update, along with a workaround, in case you’re following along with one of those tutorials and getting struck on the stroke-to-path part.

Old Sequence:

Path - Stroke To Path Path - Break Apart Path - Union

New Sequence:

Path - Stroke To Path Object - Ungroup Path - Union
