: Inkscape division action seems to shorten lines I'm having issues with the Path Division tool. I have a shape which I would like to divide according to a set of combined paths, as seen below.
I'm having issues with the Path Division tool. I have a shape which I would like to divide according to a set of combined paths, as seen below.
First, I select the path to split by, then the shape underneath (in this case the white continent). I then go to Path -> Division. However, the result is not as expected. I've shaded the regions to highlight the problem.
The lines seem to be shorter than they were drawn and are consequently not splitting properly. Does anyone know what the problem could be? All help is very appreciated.
