Re: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape can be extremely frustrating

Hi, Sam: Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.  I must have messed up the Circle tool some how, so I just deleted the whole program and re-installed it again.  Then it worked the way it was suppose to.  But I still needed help to get the Line to show up.  That was a good video; just wished they added narration (would have made it a little easier). Do you know of any way to save settings ?  They always seem to divert back to the way they were.  This is a great software program once one really learns how to use it.  Ken On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 9:47 PM Sam <dersam24@...155... <mailto:dersam24@...155...>> wrote: Hi Ken, You need the shape tool. In Windows you can use the F5 key to activate the circle tool, and then use Shift + CTRL + F to open the properties window. In this window you can set the background color of the circle and the color of the line.
