    I have a set of plans to build a plane. I have copied and pasted the ribs of the wings to the work area in inkscape. I wish to treat each object as a single object not a group object and i am having difficulty  getting the4 parts to the right size in my given work area I put in to work with. any help would be appreciated.

    The fastest work method will be to manually trace each line.  Start by putting your scan on a bottom layer.- lock - create another layer to draw on.  When you have fully traced it - delete or hide your scan.  Create another layer.  Place on that layer a rectangle the size of your needed output.  Group everything on your drawing layer and scale it until it fits on your page as you want.  Page = rectangle you made.  Remember to hold ctrl while dragging the scaling arrows.  Export final as png.  Import to publishing program for best print.
