Re: [Inkscape-user] Can of Soup Tutorial
No, I used the ellipse/circle tool and followed the instructions step by step (starting at the upper left corner and draging to the lower right corner within the ststed pixel range) . I've even tried doing the step using a circle and the nodes are still off. I've attached a screen capture for you to see.

New to Inkscape. Going through tutorials. Stuck on Step 2c of Can of Soup tutorial. Nodes are not at the horizontal or vertical axis and so I can't split the ellipse across the horizontal plane. Nodes are offset at 1, 4, 7 and 10 o'clock. Is there a step missing?
I just tested the latest version of Inkscape and the nodes appear correct if you draw an ellipse directly with the Ellipse tool and then convert the ellipse to a path.
How did you draw your ellipse? My guess is that you drew a circle, rotated it, and then squeezed it. This is the only way that I can think of to get the nodes at other than 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Rotating the circle will rotate the ellipse handles to a different orientation.

This is very strange... could you check where the nodes are before converting to a path?
Tav
There is a square node at 12 and 9 and a circular node between 7 and 8 o'clock.

Make sure you are drawing a complete ellipse and that the "Start" and "End" entry boxes in the tool controls are both zero.
