Title: Node guidelines
Post by: xPaxion on September 27, 2018, 09:18:50 AM

Is it possible to spawn a node on a guideline?

Double-click on the path in the correct location (it is supposed to snap there, if the right kind of snap options is enabled, but never did for me, though)

I'd like to spawn a node where the two lines meet each other (F2)
Is it possible?

As I wrote, it is supposed to work. I just tested it again, and it actually did work this time.

I've actually never tried to create a new node and have it automatically be snapped to any particular target (such as guide intersection).  I always double-click on the path to create the node, and then I drag the node to snap to the intersection.  Note that snapping needs to be set up properly, as I mentioned in the other message.
