Help with InkScape

[Spork Schivago]

Hello!

Does anyone use InkScape?

I drew some rectangles and coloured them in. They represent wires.

I'm trying to add stripes now, but I am struggling.

I drew an orange diagonal line, but it goes through my rectangle's border. The erase tool doesn't seem to be working the way I want it too.

I was hoping someone had some experience and could show me how to do this.

I've attached a screenshot. I want the orange that is to the right of the black vertical line to be erased. I just want the orange line where the white background is, and no wheres else.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I think I figured it out somehow. Instead of one big line, I drew three smaller lines to make a big line. For some reason, it's now not going through the black. Then I just move the black lines to the first layer and it's good.

Now if I can find a way to copy all the orange lines at once, so I can just paste them onto the other "wires", I'd be all set!
