[solved] Problems with gradient NOT moving with object

Postby djdub82 » Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:08 am

I'm using Inkscape v 0.46 on Windows XP.

Currently, when I gradient fill an object and either move it or resize it, the gradient nodes do not move with the object.

Here is my project:

I need to resize it for a print job so I change the document properties to the print specs:

When I resize the objects (either grouped together or not, it doesn't make a difference) the gradient handles/nodes stay in the same place and don't move with the object.

This is a minor problem because I can always grab the gradient handles and move them manually, but I'd rather not have to take the time. Suggestions?

theres a little icon on the right end of the selection toolbar that toggles gradients moving with their objects or not.
