Hello I was wondering if there is a way to "lock" the stroke size when you resize an object.

Lets say I have a square object with a stroke of 2 px, size 64 x 64.
Now I resize it to 132 x 44, the stroke of that object gets changed from 2px, to 2.370.

Here is an image to better explain the situation:


Thanks!

Hi.

Quote from: manual
If you want the line width to transform with an object, you must toggle on this option using the (Image removed from quote.) icon that is in the Tool Controls when the Select Tool is in use.

stroke style

Un-toggle that icon and it should work as expected.

Also, probably you'd better use geometric bounding box than visual bounding box?
You can set that in the preferences (Shift+Ctrl+P).

In Preferences, what tab is Geometric Bounding Box under?

It is at the "tools", the topmost possible category.
