This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at I created a transparent rect (for the purpose of creating an HTML hyperlink around a shape).
How do I move it around?
When I try, the image that is beneath is selected and moves. The rect stays in place. I try both selecting with the mouse (bounding box is seen) and selecting the object from the list.
If I un-transperize it (increase opacity >0), the fill and stroke become visible and I can move it without a problem.
I'm sure there's a very easy solution to this...

Hi
Hold down the ALT key and click on the outline (Marching Ants) to drag the object
