*Note: If you are using a Mac, I assume the constrain shortcut will be Shift+ Option instead. So if the object's bounding box is 50 units², the next steps will be 100, 150, 200, and so on. I'm attempting to make an image on Inkscape bigger and even though I'v grouped the different parts, when I resize it all of the parts shift. This will constrain the scaling by the size of the object for each step. Hold down Shift+ Alt* while clicking and dragging the transform handle until it snaps into position. Switch to the Select and Transform Objects tool F1 Inkscape keys and mouse reference This document describes the default keyboard shortcuts of Inkscape, corresponding to the share/keys/default.xml file in Inkscape distribution. You can customize the keyboard and mouse by editing one of the Inkscape configuration files. Hold down Shift and click the button to zoom out. Inkscape will zoom in towards the spot under your mouse cursor. In Edit > Preferences > Behavior > Transform, make sure the option to 'Scale stroke widths' is unchecked.ĭraw a circle, and stroke it, remove any fill if there is one. Position your mouse over the center of the diagram and press the mousewheel/middle button to zoom in. In fact probably best to switch off all snapping in the snap controls bar so these don't conflict with rescaling. No snapping options need to be set for it to work. It's hard to see, and there's no commentary or explanation given in the video, but I think I know how it's done.
