I am new to Inkscape - and have used CorelDraw for the last 20 years. My current laptop, (Win 10) won't load up my old (paid for) version of CorelDraw - so I'm working with Inkscape on this laptop.
I'm having a frustration with trying to add a node to a path. Created a rectangle, which I need to reshape - so I clicked the node tool, and tried double-clicking on any of the lines in the rectangle.. but no success in creating a node. Also tried the key sequence of Ctrl-ALt Clicking along the line. What am I doing wrong? I am following the instructions for Inkscape that state:
Editing Nodes with the Mouse
The mouse can be used to move nodes and handles by dragging them. It can also be used to alter the shape of a path between two nodes by dragging the path. And finally, nodes can be inserted anywhere along a path by double-clicking the path or by clicking the path while holding down the Ctrl+Alt keys.
In Corel, we have to hit Ctrl-Q to unlock a stock shape before it can be edited with the node editor. Is there something similar for Inkscape that I have missed?
Thanks.
