How do you connect two intersecting lines with a single node? I have drawn two separate segments (paths) to make a cross. I would now like to connect these two segments (paths) at the point where they intersect with a node.
This is technically not possible as SVG don´t allow connections with more than 2 nodes (like T-Splines in NURBS-CAD modeling):
You can have multiple nodes in one spot either in one path with one style applied - which is very error prone to further editing or for CAM processing - or multiple objects like a star-burst shape made from many objects:
When it´s just about to introduce a new node at the stroke crossing there is a snapping option and it´s a bit tricky to apply it by holding ctrl key down by clicking when "intersection"-snapping pops up and double-clicking just then but not on the path itself (zooming out helps).
