Edit paths by nodes stopped working

Postby mickeydog » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:14 am

I was tracing over a bitmap with the Edit paths by nodes tool. I did 2 paths, and then I must have accidently set something so that now I can't draw paths. In the attached image, you can see that I've drawn the left and right 'lobes', but I can't draw anymore. How do I fix this?

Those settings are not stroed in that svg, it works fine here.

By what means you cannot use the pen (?) tool?
Is your opacity set to 100% transparent,
are no fill and no stroke colours set,
you can draw straight segments but not adjust them to be curved because you accidentally clicked on spiro-spline mode?
Your layer is not locked itself so there is nothing to stop you from drawing paths, or else.
Do other tools work fine?

Well, I tried many things and it started working. I don't know which particular thing did it. Thanks for your suggestions.
