Hi Pilou,

I tried to follow your instructions, but it doesn't really work for me. Here's what I see if I open closed_paths_test.pdf:


Also, even if this method works, it involves exporting an SVG from MoI, importing back into MoI to make closed paths, exporting from MoI again, and then combining the first export with the second export because the first export has multiple line widths that I need to keep. That's not really better than using Illustrator to make closed paths. I still have to ping-pong back and forth and at least with Illustrator the page size and position stays the same so I don't have to do a scaling and alignment step.

Here's what I need in the end:

1) Outline that is stroked outside of path rather than along center of path. When outline stroke is outside then edges meet corners properly:


But, when the outline stroke is centered then edges don't meet correctly but look offset:


A stroke can only be outside if the path is closed since open paths don't have an inside or outside.

2) block shading:



3) Hatch fill to indicate a cross-section plane:
