Circles and Squares Are Invisible

Postby Sabia » Mon Nov 30, 2015 11:17 am

I am new to Inkscape so this may be caused by a simple newbie error...When I use the square or circle tool, no squares or circles appear. I use the fill and stroke commands but to no avail.

Thank you for helping a newbie :roll:

What To Do When A Tool Stops Working (Or Tools are Drawing Invisible Objects)

After you go through all those possible reasons, if you still can't find what's wrong, please attach your SVG file, and we can help you sort it out.

Brynn,

Reading your article solved my problem.
Going to the Object menu and opening the Fill and Stroke window enabled me to see that opacity had been set to 0%.

Thank you for your help! Now I can get back to learning Inkscape which I am enjoying.
