Hi

I just started using inkscape...

I have this issue for which I think "Snap to path intersections", may be a good solution. The problem is however, I don't know how to use the feature (let alone know exactly what it does--its symbol and its name merely hints its potential use). I have tried several things, but the button remains greyed out. I then figured I would read about the feature in the help option, but the help option: redirects me to a manual I don't know how to search in (cannot find an option that allows me to search for words by typing into a search window), and gives me a link to a book I can buy at amazon.

So...

Is there a way to read the manual for implemented features?

Anybody fancy explaining to me how to use the "snap to path intersections".

I tried google too, but unfortunately only found posts were the posts assumed an initial knowledge about the feature, and thus I did not quite understand it.

Thanks for any replies.

Have a splendid day

Hello there,

to search the manual for the snap function, use google to search--> snapping site:http://tavmjong.free.fr/

You can enable snapping to intersection points on the snap bar.

You can do that only when snapping of the nodes and snapping to the paths are also enabled.
Just click on the right icons -in the right order: nodes, paths, intersections.

In the snap toolbar the possible snaps are divided into groups. Each group has a 'master button' at the top that has to be clicked before choosing any of the options in the group. In addition there is a 'supreme master' button at the top that enables or disables all snaps (shortcut %). It's a little like the Lord of the Rings now that I think about it.
