Quick question on Inskcape, for text object, we can do 'Put on Path' to create a curved-like effect on the text. How can we do the same for path object? For example, I want to make the below path curved so I can put it on my helmet visor. Thanks!
Path effects > add live path effect > bend

Then edit on canvas

Then drag the middle of the green line up, or down, to suit. (Remember to resize your page as the bent image will be outside of that.)

Path - Path effects - Bend, Toggle edit on canvas, Wiggle it about abit then object to path to finalise.

I should really refresh before posting when I wander off to get tea

Thanks for this! May I know for the helmet visor, should it be bend upward like the one that you posted or bend downward?
Upwards, probably. When bending a decal I usually made a few different versions with differing amounts of bend to see which one worked best.

EDIT: Bear in mind that if you manipulate the decal in game, that will also affect the amount of bend.

Let me give it a try, thanks for the tips!
