cant think of an overly simple way, but if you want an accurate one, the following should work:
* Duplicate the boxes, select both the duplicates and do Ctrl K.
* go to node edit mode, select the bottom 2 nodes of the top box, and hit the Add node button, repeat with the top 2 of the bottom box.
* select the new centre node at the bottom of the top box and one of the other bottom nodes, hit the "split node between points" button to remove the segment, repeat for bottom box.
* select the 2 centre nodes, and hit "join paths at selected nodes with new segment"
* delete all the other nodes.
You should be left with a 2 node path thats perfectly lined up with the centres.
Cheers

I've been working some with inkscape some and I have a problem I'm not sure how to solve. Let me draw a simple diagram:
+----------+ | Box 1 | +----------+ / / +----------+ | Box 2 | +----------+Is there a way I can exactly line up the end of those points to the center of each box? The top point of the line to the middle of Box 1
and the bottom point to the middle of Box 2.
I didn't know if there was a good way to do this. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
