    Hi. I'm a beginner. I'm trying to draw circles but they just don't appear. I can select the object but I can´t see it. I have previously checked that borders and filling are correctly specified. I add a screenshot to show that I can draw a rectangle but the elipse is not shown, although the box can be seen.

    Thenk you.

    I'd check the Opacity. The status indicates zero, but it sometimes is in error.

    You have to change Opacity to 100%.

    You can see in two screen shots that in the No.1 Opacity is  Zero, I can not fill color.

    And in the 2nd one I have changed the Opacity level to 100% and I can fill the color.

    You can open Fill and Stroke (Shift+Ctrl+F)

    @Cyanide77 check at the bottom left corner of the Inkscape window right to the color settings.

    @Cyanide77 Also check your document grid size. If you are zoomed in and dragging less than a grid measurement, my experience is that your shapes will not show up.
