: How to copy a subpath in inkscape? I have selected four vertices of a path, forming a subpath. How do I get a copy of that subpath (having four vertices)? CtrlC, CtrlV copies the whole

@Martha945

I don't think there is a way to copy segments. You probably will have to duplicate and break apart, or break apart at your selection.

You can separate your path into its components by calling Path -> Break apart.

The reverse process is Path -> Combine.

So, with this in mind, you can transform your path into 2 paths, then duplicate the part you want, and recombine the pieces you need into one final path.

You need to break paths first using Path-Break apart (Shift+Ctrl+K). Then you can copy paste the part of the path.(Note: Using this command you can only copy paste the part that are not connected, like the path you selected)
