Fixing the position of one node while joining nodes

Postby daviddoria » Fri Feb 24, 2012 9:52 am

When I select two end point nodes and click "join nodes", they seem to kind of meet in the middle. Is there anyway to say "move node A to node B" (so that B doesn't move in the process)?

Thanks,

David

It seems that rather than joining nodes you want to join nodes with a new segment.

Hover with the mouse pointer over the node you want to stay fixed (in your example: B ), and use the keyboard shortcut to join the selected end-nodes: 'Shift+J'
