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. Maurice
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 =)

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
