I'm glad you find it useful. A little tip, you do not need to modify the nodes of each path separately. Select both objects with the selection tool, and then, using the node editing tool, you can select shared nodes of both pathsmaking a selection box around the nodes (click and drag around) El 10/08/13 14:12, Maurice van Peursem escribió: > Thanks Alejandro, > > I'm new to Inkscape, and this is indeed very > helpful.

Maurice- You may want to look at the thread on making maps from last May: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=519BAB8A.9070502%4… Unless things have changed, the answer is that for now it's better to maintain maps with some other tool. - Robert On Sat, 10 Aug 2013, Maurice van Peursem wrote: > Thanks, this helps a little.

Thanks, this helps a little. But the rectangle is only an example, the drawing I'm working on is more complicated. Take for instance the map of Europe, with all coutries painted in a different color. The path-segments on each border belong to two paths, around the two bordering countries. Now if I want to edit that border, I would like to edit only one path. Is that possible? Or do I have to draw each border twice? Thanks for the help.

A easy method that works for me: 1 select the two nodes you want to join and break the path (shift+B) 2 select one of the corner nodes, then use ctrl+A to select all nodes... and as you can see, only the four nodes of one half side are selected. 3 use the node-tool button "Join selected endnodes with a new segment" with these nodes selected. End nodes that were open now are joined by a segment 4 Proceed at the same way with the other half square 5 use the selection tool to select the both square-subpaths, then break apart the path (Ctrl+Shif+K). Now you have the two rectangles free. The explanation is longer than the making =) El 10/08/13 02:09, Maurice van Peursem escribió: > Hi, > > I hope my image comes through.

In addition to my previous answer (to personal mail, in Dutch) which covered 'node operations', you could also just duplicate the object and set the width of both the original and the duplicate to half of their origanal widths. (scale horizontally by 50%). This requires no node operations. :) On Aug 10, 2013, at 2:09 AM, Maurice van Peursem wrote: Hi, I hope my image comes through.

Make 2 paths from 1

Hi, I hope my image comes through. I have a closed path, represented by the rectangle. I want to connect points A and B to create 2 closed paths, one around C and one around D without drawing the connection between A and B twice. Can I achieve this in a simple way? Thanks, Maurice
