Hi,

I don't think it's a stupid question, I doubt it if there is real functionality for it in Inkscape. Because Inkscape is no CAD-software.

But, what you could try is: Effects --> Visualize Path --> Draw Handles This draws the handles at the nodes.

If necessary, you need to introduce an extra node to your bezier-path where you need the tangent.

Succes ermee.

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but can't find the answer: how do you draw a tangent line to a bezier curve in inkscape?

Thanks,

Ward
