I have added a Bezier line
to the outer end of a spiral
. (See comment for details.)
After that I selected both, colorized them and gave them a small amount of blur (1.5%).
The problem is, that only the spiral
gets blury, but not the Bezier line
.
Nevertheless, if I move one node
of the Bezier line
somewhere else to the outer path
of the spiral
, select them both and apply a blur, both get blured. I moved the node with the Edit paths by nodes
tool and enabled Enable snapping
-> Snap notes or handles
-> Snap to paths
.
Next I can drag one node of the blured Bezier line
to the cusp node of the blured spiral
by hand and level the line
horizontal, by entering the same y-value for the right node
that the left node
has. Now I can select them both and can change the blur of them simulataneously. By that I can achieve the result that I could not get by the first method. (See EDIT)
I would like to know, how I can blur both objects at the same time without all the effort described above, if this is not a bug.

[EDIT]:
After messing arround with the problem for another while I realised, that the blur of the line
only disapears, if I level the two nodes of the line
exactly one the same y-values
with copy and paste.
In my first try I entered the y-value of the left node of the line
in the "y-value box" (at top) of the right line-node
by hand, what probably results in not exact the same numbers as copy and paste does.
In my second try to recreate the problem, I copied and pasted the y-value from the left line-node to the right line-node
and as soon as I did that the blur of the line
disapears.
I could not find any information that this behaviour is intended by the developers. Thus I guess this is a bug and I will report it to them and write about the progress in here.
spiral
with exactly three turns, selected theBezier curve and straight lines
tool and set its mode toparaxial line mode
. After that I enabledEnable snapping
->Snap nodes or handles
->snap to cusp node
(on the right hand side of the window). Now when I hover the cursor over the outer end point of the spiral, the cursor snaps to it and it can draw astraight line
to the right with no interception to thespiral
. Can I call that a connection or is that reserved for sth. else? Sorry, that I have not described that better in the first place. – Senkaku May 8 '13 at 10:53
