How can I connect two circles like this?
Check this tutorial
You can slightly adapt the method (looks as the clone tiling step needs a 50 % shift between rows).
Done!
Hi
Create a circle (to path)
created the 4 points at 45°
Creates the tiling by connecting the points at 45°
Use the shape constructor to create the desired shape...
A better solution @GSolutions. My method doesn't yield the circular whitespace.
@GSolutions can u please elaborate your answer, I don't know how to create the 4 points.
Select every node from a circle converted with Path->Object to Path by hitting the "+" button in the top row of the properties of the Node tool.
Yes, actually, if you select 2 node and click the +node. The new node is automatically positioned in the middle. And you can use the magnetism function to perfectly connect the 45° nodes of each circle.
The slight modification : a fast and effective solution with LPE tiling and shapebuilder tool : adapted from alezza's tutorial
I don´t see any advantage of adding nodes at 45° or rotating the circle by 45°. Hitting cmd+L for Path->Simplify works wonders:
Not as accurately as a built from arcs/partial circle in a seamless Align+Distribution arrangement:
