Deleting nodes doesn't work

Postby Chemist » Thu Apr 02, 2009 6:36 am

Hi there,

I would like to delete one node of a square. Sounds like an easy enough task, but neither Ctrl+Alt+LeftMouseClick, nor selecting a node with :tool_node: works. When I drag the pointer over a node then the node is colored red and I can drag it with the left mouse button. But when I click on a node (without moving it), it is not selected. Has somebody encountered a similar problem and can tell me what to do?

Thanks!
Andi

I don't think u can delete any nodes if a square is created using the rectangle/squaure tool. U can use the node to scale it big to small & vice versa tho. Please correct me if I'm wrong people!

you need to convert your object to path first. under the path menu.
