BTW, I don’t know if the Vector viewport would have helped, as I designed the 3D model of a chip onto which I applied the company logo from a PNG file. Upon setting the viewport to Vector, the company logo I applied onto the top of the chip became a white blank.
Apart from that, Inkscape is a wonderful alternative to Adobe Illustrator and I found it easier to work with than Illustrator. Then again, I had no experience with either of them when I started working with vector graphics.
