Title: When resizing object, "lock" stoke size?
Post by: Nova Kaiser on January 02, 2018, 10:03:00 PM

Hello I was wondering if there is a way to "lock" the stroke size when you resize an object.

Lets say I have a square object with a stroke of 2 px, size 64 x 64.
Now I resize it to 132 x 44, the stroke of that object gets changed from 2px, to 2.370.

Here is an image to better explain the situation:

Thanks!

Hi.

Quote from: manual

If you want the line width to transform with an object, you must toggle on this option using the (http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/images/ICONS_PNG/status/transform-affect-stroke.png) icon that is in the Tool Controls when the Select Tool is in use.

stroke style (http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Attributes-Stroke.html#Attributes-Stroke-Width)

Un-toggle that icon and it should work as expected.

Also, probably you'd better use geometric bounding box than visual bounding box?
You can set that in the preferences (Shift+Ctrl+P).

In Preferences, what tab is Geometric Bounding Box under?

It is at the "tools", the topmost possible category.
