If the original path is modified, the LPE will be regenerated.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you invert a selection in Inkscape?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Invert Selection Use ! to invert the selection to all unselected objects within the current layer; use Alt+! to invert the selection to all unselected objects within all unlocked layers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I flip text in a circle in Inkscape?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XFFZXgBtNlg\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I mirror a PNG file?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Upload your Image.
