Thank you for this!
Live and learn, eh?
Inkscape is pretty cool and I will be looking at replacing some of my editors and using it as soon as I get proficient with it.
Cheers, Billyg1943

Dear billyg1943,
A new post on the topic "Unable to Edit Polyline" by Paddy_CAD:
Open the XML Editor dialog [shift+ctrl+x] and you'll see that your drawing contains <line> and <polyline> elements. This is valid svg code and Inkscape renders these elements correctly, but it doesn't have the drawing tools to edit them. Almost every shape in Inkscape is a <path> element. This in turn has a <d> attribute containing a list of x,y coordinates joined by straight line segments and bezier curves. Any shape you can construct with lines and polylines can also be generated with paths so there's no point developing tools for both.There are online tools to convert lines and polylines (and polygons and circles and other unsupported elements) to paths. Or you can do it manually in a text editor.Find:
