Drawing lines after tracing an image

and was hoping they would snap/connect to existing vectors as I draw them. I traced an image and need to fill in some content that wasn’t brought in with the trace. So can the origin and termination of the line tool connect to another vector?

And is there a way to add nodes?

Polyline should snap to nodes. Node Edit will not. To add a node, in the Node Edit tool, right-click - Add Node

Thank you and it now works for me. Was hoping it would attach to a line/vector but creating a node for an attach point gets the job done…

Drawing in new polylines and curves and Node editing and Trim Vectors should allow one to arrive at any geometry which one desires — if you have trouble w/ this, please let us know.

I’m finding my new polylines aren’t “constrained” to the nodes I start and stop to. In CAD they become constrained until you unconstrain them.

Although it’s not visibly constrained, placing a point w/in proximity of the starting point causes the path to be close at that point — this is true whether Snap to Grid is on or off.
