mhulse Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I have not found a straight answer to this question. I have two lines (unclosed, just a simple line) that run parallel to each-other. These lines have one overlapping node occupying the same space. I can not figure out how to merge/join the two nodes to create a new, single line, path. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted January 12, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi mhulse You can achieve this using the Node Tool, I've attached a quick screen recording showing this below - RPReplay_Final1578848292.MP4 I hope this helps!

A screen shot might help explain your question. Two ‘parallel' lines cannot have 'overlapping' nodes, as they never meet? Note to OP. You can only join 'end' nodes.

megalein Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If the paths are joined in the wrong direction, use “reverse” (node tool) on one of the two lines first (that switches beginning and end of the line) and then select the two nodes of the two lines that you want to join and press “join”.

DesignByAdrian Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Joining two paths in the competitor. This action is very tedious in Affinity Designer still after years of asking for something better.
