Hi Paddy_CAD,

This has been sent three times now 😊

I tried converting to paths using https://codepen.io/jak_e/pen/GZwgzV. Still no joy and formatting gets a bit borked. I'll have another go tomorrow.

I have attached the converted svg.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers, Billyg1943

Dear billyg1943,

A post has been edited 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:polylineReplace With:pathFind:points="Replace With:d="MFind:line .... x1="aaaa" y1="bbbb" x2="cccc" y2="dddd"Replace With:path .... d="Maaaa,bbbb cccc,dddd"  ---- Link: http://www.inkscape.org/forums/questions/unable-to-edit-polyline/#c65030

All the best, Inkscape.org Website
