Re: eggbot & inkscape – how does one clip or mask?

Yep. That’s the point – there is no tool in Inkscape to simply cut one path with another.  At least not that I can find.  For example, start with the traditional1 pattern.  Create oval for the area you want to put the text in.  How do you get Inkscape to remove the lines where the oval is?
