Don&#39;t know about the first option.<br><br>My guess for the second option is that you are drawing a rectangle without a border or fill.<br>The best wa is to draw your rectangle, which you will not see but will be there.<br>
do: <br>  - edit - select all<br>and<br>  - Ctrl + Shift + F<br>and<br>  - Pick a color for the border or fill<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 5:15 PM, Sam Albers <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:tonightsthenight@...155...">tonightsthenight@...155...</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br><br>Thanks for a wonderful program. I have a fairly simple question
which I can&#39;t figure out from internet searching. I am making a diagram
and I would like to have a box in the upper left hand corner of the
drawing show an enlarge portion of my drawing. <br><br>1) Is there an easy way to do this? By easy I mean if there
an option for a box that limits graphic to inside the box... kind of
.svg within an .svg?
<br><br>2) If not and I have to do it manually, then I will relate my
other problem right now. I was going to do this manually by drawing a
rectangle then simply copy/paste the necessary items into my box to
manually create the enlarged area. But for some reason whenever, I try
to draw rectangle I get nothing but a box of dashed lines that
disappears as soon as I don&#39;t click on it. Any suggestions on what I
might be doing wrong?
<br><br>Anyways thanks alot in advance. I am running Ubuntu 8.10
