    Hi All,

    inkscape-1.4-2.fc41.x86_64

    I have been importing screenshots from my clipboard into Inkscape.  Then drawing arrows around things.   How do I draw a box around something?

    I found rectangle, but it overwrites what it goes around.

    Many thanks,

    If you just want an outline delete the Fill color.

    Thank you!

    My notes:

    Inkscape: draw a rectangle around something and remove the fill:

    --> select the rectangle icon from the column on the left.  
        Drag and drop to create a rectangle.

      --> open the Fill and Stroke window <ctrl><shift><F>

        --> on the "Fill" tab at the top, select the box with the
            X in it (no paint)
