I'm also considering using clones for the boxes. What I'm after is a way to be able to change things like colours and line thicknesses just once, and have those changes affect all of the boxes of that class. Is cloning the best way to do this? It seems to work, but there is one problem. Normally I put some text inside the box and then group the box and the text. But if I then clone the group the text cannot be editted in the clone.
Don't clone the group - clone only the rect. Made the clone of the rect first, then group rect with text; clone will not be affected, it will only reflect the rect as before. Then you can duplicate the clone as many times as you need to get more clones of the same rect.
