[solved] Resizing the canvas

Postby squeakytoy » Tue Feb 05, 2008 3:07 pm

How do I resize the canvas without resizing the objects? When I resize the canvas using the document properties dialog, the objects get resized also. It seems like it's been reported as a bug, which is still not fixed apparently (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168410).

I was wondering if there is a workaround.

Have you tried removing the viewBox attribute, as that bug report suggests?

At first I didn't know what this viewBox was. But after reading your reply is investigated it further. I deleted the viewbox parameter from my SVG file and it worked!

Many thanks. ;)
