Looking for an Inkscape pro . . .

Postby RobertT » Sat Mar 21, 2009 6:59 am

Greetings --

I have been able to figure out many of the functions of Inkscape using my head and trial and error. One thing I CAN'T manage to understand using the online HELP manual is how to connect two paths. I drew a path point by point, copy/pasted and reflected the path and now I want to make the two paths one path. I can't seem to select the end nodes of each path using the shift and mouse. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Robert

You need to combine them into one path using the Combine option under Path menu or Ctrl + k shortcut. Then you can even select and join end nodes that are in two different subpaths if needed.
