Many of the designers need to export multiple objects at once. It’s called batch export and it is important because manually exporting each object is tiring and time consuming.

So almost all editors include batch export option and Inkscape too. On the export option (Keyboard Ctrl+Shift+E), you will see a handy batch export checkbox. But Inkscape only allows you to export in PNG and not SVG. So in this tutorial, I will teach you how to export multiple objects into individual SVG files. So let’s start.īut before that, I want to write a few things about cloning, tiled cloning, arranging objects into grids because you need to arrange your objects for several reasons. This is also important for those who are working with icons. Because if you have tons of icons in one document, it’s hard to arrange them manually. So, let’s first start with cloning, tiled cloning and arranging.Ĭlone tool is used to create clones of original objects. Now you might say, why do we need a clone tool when we have duplicates? Because Clone and Duplicate are not the same thing. Now, if I edit the original object, the changes will automatically be applied to the clone object. With duplicate, you have a duplicate object which you will have to modify separately. But with clones, any modification applied to the original will be mirrored to the cloned object.

In the picture I created a pie chart with segmentation option in the ellipses tool. When I applied the edit on the original, the clone also mirrored the modification turning into an exact copy of the original object.Īnother very useful feature of this tool is Tiled cloning. The Tiled Clone option lets you clone an object multiple times in girds. This is a handy feature when you need to create multiple clones of an object.
