: Convert Clipped Item Into Normal Path In Inkscape? I created a demi-circle with the clipping feature, but it shows up as a group of two items. Like this: But i just want a normal path,

Heres my answer to this question from the Google+ Query on the Inscape Community:

to create that shape I'd just use the arc tool - even if you draw a circle, you can select the circle tool (F5) and select the circle and change your start and end degrees. But is the posted image just a simple example to make the point?

I guess if I was going to cut down the circle to make a half-circle (same can be done with more complex shapes) I'd select the circle and the rectangle above and chose Path -> Intersection. That cuts it to the shape I'm wanting to have left over - and leaves all the remaining points as an editable path.
