Re: [Inkscape-user] Make 2 paths from 1
Maurice-
You may want to look at the thread on making maps from last May:

Unless things have changed, the answer is that for now it's better to maintain maps with some other tool.

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
may be a solution, but do not know if it will be useful. For maps, you can trace the area around it, and then draw a line for the "frontiers". Then select both lines, and use the option "division" from path menu. I send an attached file with an example (quite horrible to see, but hopefully explanatory)

Thanks Alejandro,
I'm new to Inkscape, and this is indeed very helpful. I have yet to learn how to use all the path-modifying options. The only disadvantage is that once separated, you get 2 border paths that you will have to edit both is you want to change the border later. But this is good start.

Thanks Robert,
That is the information I was looking for. Pity it is not really possible to create these 'shared paths'. I'm not making a map btw, only a simple drawing with a few differently colored regions, simple enough you would think. But it seems if you want to change a border, you have to edit that border twice, or find some above/under configuration to hide an incorrect subpath.
Can Adobe Illustrator do this?
Thans again, Maurice
