Some years back in older version of Inkscape  I had designed some, but then the problem I often faced was the circle shaped object's width and heights were not same.

In newer version (inkscape-1.2.2_2022-12-09_732a01da63-x64) of Inkscape I am trying to make the width and height same of those old designs but can not do.

For reference attaching image (created when I was learning)

Any help/advice and suggestion will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Do you hold down ctrl-key while dragging out a circle to maintain height+width aligned?

The lock in the Select Tool controls can also be set to maintain proportion (or not) when transforming.

I often use Ctrl* Shift when to maintain proportion.

Lock in the select tool? how could I find it?

Thank you

Use selector tool. In tool control bar, the locker icon is just next to width W and height H fields.

Hi thank you all for the reply.

This is what I did. (refer screen shot) On the tool bar inserted the desired Height example 500 then locked and pressed Enter but some time the height changed such as 501 or 506.

Strangely sometime it worked fine.

Thank you to all who have replied.
