Problem when connecting lines

Postby Niko » Mon Jan 21, 2019 12:24 am

Hi, this is my first post. I'm currently learning how to use Inkscape, and one by one I'm trying to learn as many things as possible, but I have a problem: lately when I try to connect nodes the figure changes shape lines connects as they want, and that's very annoying because now I can't close a line anymore. Can someone help me please?

Avoid drawing with a path effect.
At the top, in the tool controls bar, select Shape: None.

Thank you, it works. I'm sorry that I can't use path effects, but it's better than nothing. Thank you again

You don't need to connect the nodes - just place them close to each other.
