Re: Straight line with exact distance between nodes
Never mind I have problems to explain things right. Actually with inkscape you are drawing paths, which are made up of nodes and connecting segments. The way you draw those is not that effective: you drew paths from two nodes, with the pen tool, for each line? Seems so. Some suggestions which can i...

Re: Straight line with exact distance between nodes
To make the file print-ready you should add the stroke, after each node is in place. It was just a workaround for the basic problem. Boolean refers to adding, subtracting, intersecting paths. I'm too much into details but can't think a situation where the inaccuracy would be that much in a simple d...

Re: Straight line with exact distance between nodes
Thus you would need to change the display mode to outlines only. Also if you type in the coordinate values instead of the lengths, you will get a better result. I'm using inkscape for architectural drawings sometimes, and it's not an easy one. Inaccuracy appears time to time, mostly when you use a ...

Re: Straight line with exact distance between nodes
Thanks for the reply. But when I set a line to no stroke and full with black, it disappears.

Re: Straight line with exact distance between nodes
In your Inkscape Preferences window, open the Tools category. The bounding box may have been set to use visual instead of geometric. Choose the latter. It was indeed set to visual. Changed it. However, now I can't change the length at all. Only with the arrows that appear when I select the line, bu...

Re: Straight line with exact distance between nodes
Hi, I'm bumping this thread because I have the issue OP was describing. When I draw a line and I want to make it exactly (for example) 100 pixels long, I try and type 100 in the box at the top of the interface. However, the line will be e.g. 100.547 pixels long. I have to repeate typing 100 3 times ...
