How to join overlapping nodes?

How do I join overlapping nodes?

I can't find the answer anywhere on the internet.

I use the node tool, drag to select both the nodes but "Join Curves" is greyed out.

Close curves is possible, but that creates a closed shape, i just want to join 2 lines.

In Illustrator I would drag over the 2 nodes then press ctrl+J.

Can someone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you so much.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your issue.

It seems you can only join end nodes of (separated) curves. If you could upload a screenshot or ideally the Affinity file, we can check if we find a better solution.

This older post might help:

for anyone else having an issue with this, I figured out I need to select both curves with the move tool, then switch to the node tool and click and drag over both nodes, then the join button is available.

thanks

nexex beat me to it. I like when the original poster finds the solution and then reports that it is solved and how to solve it.
