Hi Judah, et al,

Thanks for your help and the screenshots. it’s very interesting, i never made the connection in my mind between the ‘custom size’ in the properties window and the viewbox-attribute in SVG, neither between the ‘scale strokes’  button in the Inkscape UI and the effect from SVG definition. 

But, toggling the ‘transform strokes’ button doesn’t do anything.

I suddenly wonder,… I define the line style in a stylesheet in the head of document. Might it be that  Inkscape doesn’t like that?

Also, this is my SVG definition:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="30cm" height="60cm" viewBox="0 0 30 60" >
and Inkscape’s document setting



And the style, together with the first path.
         <![CDATA[
          
            .cut{ stroke: #ff0000; stroke-width: 1px; fill: none; }
          
            .fold{ stroke: #08C; stroke-width: 1px; fill: none; stroke-dasharray:2, 2 }
          
            .valley{ stroke: #00cccc; stroke-width: 1px; fill: none; stroke-dasharray:3, 2 }
          
            .mountain{ stroke: teal; stroke-width: 1px; fill: none; stroke-dasharray:2, 3 }
          
            .construction{ stroke: silver; stroke-width: 1px; fill: none; stroke-dasharray:10,3 }
          
          ]]>
          </style>
          
            <path id="outside" class="cut" vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" d="M 0 0
Thanks for your help, I suspect it’s a bug in my SVG, rather then a bug in Inkscape.
