: How to align an object relative to nodes of another object in Inkscape? I'd like to align one object to the nodes of another object. In the screenshot below, I'd like to horizontally align

@Tiffany317

What I would do in this case is the following:


Select the two nodes relevant for alignment


Choose Path > Break apart to generate a separate object from the vertical line.
Select first the text, then the vertical line


Now open Object > Align and distribute with setting Relative to Last selected


Align the objects according to needs:


To align the left of the text choose Align left edge to right edge of anchor:


To center choose Center on vertical axis:



Now select the horizontal top line and the vertical line and choose Path > Combine to combine them to one object again.

I'd :


create another vertical segment
center align it with the '1/4pi' text
copy the "x" value of a node of this segment
apply it to the two selected nodes.
