Hi.

I've made two bezier lines (Shortcut is 'B'). Top bezier line shape is 'Ellipse' and the bottom bezier line shape is 'None'.

Bezier line shapes

Now I want to change the top bezier line shape to 'None', like the bottom one. I have over 100 bezier lines which are 'Ellipse'. It was a mistake. I want to change those lines back to the shape 'None'.

Is this possible?

I'm using inkscape 1.2

Thanks.

Go Path->Remove Path Effect - most likely you need to kill fill colour and add stroke.

Does not work.

When I do this on the top bezier line with the shape 'Ellipse', then I get this:

Bezier line with shape ellipse

Ubuntu MATE 22.04 Inkscape 1.2 works here.

When you got the second shape did you follow @Polygon's "most likely you need to kill fill colour and add stroke."?

Click on that object, then move mouse pointer to color palette on bottom of screen and right click and set fill to none (X) and choose color for stroke.

No fill - only stroke

You forget to remove Path->Remove Path Effect - Will end in a color filled shape, that´s why: " kill fill colour and add stroke".

Is there a way to change from line to ellipse?

I mean, change the bottom line with shape 'None' to bezier line with shape 'Ellipse'.

I probably do not understand procedures you are using.

Here I draw line with ellipse mode selected

Select line, then Path / Remove Path Effect, set to no fill and set stroke color.

I end up with single line

Your image looks like you missed the first step Path / Remove Path Effect

Maybe upload a svg with just your start image.

Is there a way to change from line to ellipse?

The other way around? Add Path-Path Effects->Power stroke.

That's it. Thanks to all.

Oops was composing message and missed the in between posts. Sorry.

Thanks @Polygon for pointing out the Remove Path Effect, will be useful for me in future and @inkingo for original question which showed me a possible problem if I accidentally changed the settings. Still not fully up to snuff on looking at settings in menu bar.

Finally we got it. 😅

Finally 😎👍
