: Change shape of a bezier after you've completed it I'm using the bezier tool, but I forgot the 'shape' option was set to an ellipse so my drawing is just a mess. Is there any way to change

I'm using the bezier tool, but I forgot the 'shape' option was set to an ellipse so my drawing is just a mess. Is there any way to change the shape option AFTER I've completed the curve?

Select the path and open the XML editor (Edit -> XML Editor).

You will note that there are more attributes in your path than on a simple path with no stroke shape.

In particular, click on inkscape:path-effect and delete it (there is an icon with a red cross nearby).

Then you have the d attribute, and the inkscape:original-d attribute. The latter contains your path, while the former contains the complete shape of the stroke.

Select the inkscape:original-d attribute, copy it's value, then select the d element and replace its value with the copied path. Save this new value with the Set button.

Now delete the inkscape:original-d attribute.

You may need to set No-fill and a stroke color to see the path as a line instead of a filled-in area.
