Don't know who to ask, I just started try inkscape for the first. When I draw a rectangle I don't a black rectangle just a doted rectangle, what I'm I doing wrong.

Check the setting for the global opacity and make sure that it is > 0. (You can either use the spinbox with the label 'O:' in the status line, or the opacity slider in the 'Fill and Stroke' dialog).

If this doesn't help and new objects still are not visible (only the bounding box frame - the "doted rectangle" - while still selected), check the settings of the current layer in the 'Layers...' dialog and make sure the layer opacity is > 0.
