Hello,
I want to know how merges three nodes.
example : I use a Bézier curve and I want an other curve which starts in middle of first curve.
If I can't, I want to know how to make stick several node together. Because, when I zoom or move, I can see holes.
Thanks,
Regards,

Re: Merge node
You can't join three nodes. But there is a snap setting that may make your life easier. It's under File > Document Properties > Snap. Try enabling "Snap to paths" or one of the other options depending on your preferences.

Hi,
I'm a new user of Inkscape. I want to design a stick tree with branches and nodes.
I first use this tool
and pull on Ctrl to have some straight lines.
I designed that (2 branchs until their leaves) :


and I want to restart from this root and to design this :


The purpose of this is to finally have just one object to apply the same color ...
The first method that I saw, was to use an existing node of my previous object to begin my new line. But I only could visualise the terminal nodes.
The second method was to start a new object which begin near the middle of my branches and then to merge the two nodes of my two objects. But I never found where to do that.
The lack of a kind of merge function is a feature or is it in the plan of development?
Thanks, Asmo
PS : In your solution of the magnetic nodes, we finally have several objects and if we want to move one point, we must select all stacked points.

Re: Merge node
You can't fork a path. A path is like a peice of string--it can only have two ends. You can use a peice of string to define the area of a forked shape though. In inkscape you can do this by selecting your two paths and going to Path > Stroke to Path. Once both paths are converted you can union or combine them.
