    Hi,

    I'm sure it's very simple but I just don't know how to do it.

    I have several document with dots. Now I want to connect these dots with "lines" with a shape.

    Here is an example: http://wcid.de/LinienMitKontur.jpg

    Can you please help me?

    Thanks a lot.

    I'd use the Bezier tool and snapping to object centers.

    I suggest stepping through the simple tutorials in Inkscape's help menu, to get a foundation in the concepts of vector editing.

    Tyler is correct, 

    Snap to the circle centre - draw a bezier line snapping to the centre of the 2nd circle.

    Then choose a stroke that is larger than the circle diameter. Add rounded cap in the stroke style.

    The Path>Stroke to path, then set the fill to none and the stroke of that path to the thickness of the belt you want.
