Draw a circle with a wide stroke.
Draw a rectangle covering half.
Mark both.
Object > Clip > Set


How do I make convert the wide stroke of the resulting half circle to a path similar to: convert stroke to path



I have tried:


Mark clipped object
Path > Stroke to Path


But no result.

The circle serves as example. The goal is to be able to do this for any clipped object with wide strokes - not just circles.

You must remove the fill color from the resulted path, give a stroke color and make the stroke width narrow enough to leave some room. All this is available in the Fill & Stroke panel.

I think that using the object clip not necessarily is the best combining method. The clipping affects now to the converted circle and you see clipped open paths, not a closed path.

Convert the stroke of the circle to path at first, then intersect with a rectangle.

Here a rectangle and a converted circle are intersected. It's in the Path menu.



This is what you get, if you clip the circle at first and then convert it to a path.
