Hi,
This is my first time posting so please bare with me. I am simply trying to boarder a couple of images, figured the easiest way was to draw a rectangle with no fill.
However, the weights of the stroke of the rectangle aren't even. How do I make them the same weight?

Re: error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
Hi.
That has got to do with transformations.
Make sure they are set to optimised and not preserved in the preferences (Shift+Ctrl+P).
Also, make sure you are drawing the rectangle in the parent layer/root, and not as a part of a transformed group.
-To do that, keep an eye on the bottom indication -shouldn't look as 1 selected oject-rectangle- in g12345 or such. To exit the group, press Ctrl+Backspace.

I'd like to reproduce this problem but can't seem to. What kind of a transformation do I need on a group to make a rectangle with uneven stroke?

Re: error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
^Group the rectangle and resize the group in one direction/out of proportion.
Re: [solved] error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
I tried that, it's not distorting. I must be missing something huge

Re: [solved] error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
Are you sure you resized the group and not the rectangle inside the group?
Re: [solved] error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
yup lol, resized the group using the arrow on the sides of the group. Stroke gets adjusted every time. Do you happen to have a file with an example?

Re: [solved] error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
It is very basic, can reproduce it in every file.
Re: [solved] error:Recatangle with different weighted strokes
I'm using 0.48 on this machine, could this be the reason? I'll try the latest version and see.
