I converted a pdf to an svg file for a CNC project.
Since I use a different material thickness I need to modify part of the shape without modifying the overall shape.
I attached two pictures to clarify. One overview and one detail of the part I try to modify.
Basically I want to extend the vertical lines (numbered 1) out to the dotted box (numbered 2), but with the gradient on the horizontal line (numbered 3) I have issues with that.
Is there an easy way to move the line 1 to line 2 without modifying the overall shape of line 3?
I hope it is somewhat clear, what I want to do here :)
As you can´t have multiple styles in one shape/object/stroke you need to Path->break apart at the certain nodes which isn´t a big deal - but I have no clue about the "tooling" part.
Here's one method. I separated your black path into two separate paths, blue and red. The light blue shapes provide snapping points for the linked offset.

Hi everyone,

Thank you in advance!

Of course, there's always a better/quicker/simpler way to do it.
