    Hi everyone,
    I’m fairly new to Inkscape and loving it so far, but I’ve run into something that’s confusing me.

    When I scale an object (like a rectangle or a line), the stroke width also scales up or down. But sometimes I want the stroke width to stay the same no matter how much I resize the object.

    Is there a way to lock or prevent the stroke width from changing while scaling? I looked around in the preferences but maybe I missed something.

    Appreciate any tips or tricks — thanks!

    Not in front of Inkscape right now, but there’s a button/toggle in the top row which is for maintainig stroke width during scaling.
