How to remove the line in the centre

Postby Mayla » Wed Jan 04, 2017 5:35 pm

Hi Everyone
I created the attached diagram by removing half of the diagram and then mirror imaging it. Now I can't remove the line going through the middle of the image. Please could someone tell me how to remove this line?

Thank you
Mayla

Many ways to work it...

This example uses node snapping to guide and nodes, and rotation center snapping. Snapping to a centerline helps maintain symmetry.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Or use the new 0.92, which can do the mirroring and the fusing automatically for you:

Thank you everyone for your responses.
Moini, I tried your approach and downloaded the 0.92 version. But I don't seem to have the same options as the software shown in the youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1sj4AeU3Yo).
I can mirror the image but to merge one to the other, i don't have the 'reflection line' tool. I don't seem to be able to attach a screenshot of my software but am hoping someone can still help.
Any suggestions why this is not there?

Thank you so much
Mayla

Hi Mayla, it seems the extension has been updated... try using the node editing tool in the toolbar.
