I'm using inkscape to make a map, but whenever I try to break a path or use intersect, the nodes/path shifts suddenly. I've made sure that there are no kinks in the path, and the nodes of each one lines up, but it keeps happening. What do I do?
You're probably seeing round-off errors, especially if your maps have very fine details. By default, SVG coordinates won't exceed 8 digits with at most 8 decimal places. Additional digits are discarded.
You can change these limits under [Preferences > Input/Output > SVG Output > Numbers]. Of course, storing more digits incurs the cost of larger file sizes.

That worked for me! Thank you so much
