[Inkscape-user] Re: Keeping the Size and Changing the Border

30 Jun 2023


      Nathan, I will try these alternatives suggested by both you and Robert.
Honestly, I expected simpler solutions, for a problem that "doesn't seem to
be complicated".
 I imagine a configuration like this: a checkbox with an option "keep the
external size of the object, regardless of the thickness of the border".
 I don't have much knowledge in inkscape, I never took a course, but I
think this editor is amazing.
Thank you very much.

It looks like there are a couple of things going on here. First, it seems
like you’re expecting the bounding box size of an object to reflect its
geometry, rather than include its stroke and effects. To change this
behavior, select Preferences > Tools > Geometric bounding box (per the
attached BoundingBox_x.png images).
As Robert said, if you want to create a stroke inside of an object, it’s a
little tricky. I find the offset tools difficult and not especially well
documented, so I usually either use boolean operations to make the shape I
want, or I will:

Set stroke width to 2x what I need it to be
Set stroke order so that the stroke is on top
Duplicate the object (ctrl+d)
Select both, Right Click > Set Clip

(See InnerStroke_x.png images)

Hi Nathan!

Of course, I will below...
...

See I increased the border thickness to 1.5mm and the outer size of the
...
object also increased, and I don't want that.
...
I want the object to remain the same external size.

Hi Folks!

How to maintain the external size of an object by changing its border
...
...
...
...
...
thickness?
...
...
...
...
...
Every time I change the border thickness, the object size
automatically
...
...
...
...
...
changes as well.
...
...
...
...
...
This is really annoying, because I have to resize again...but in that
...
...
case
...
...
...
...
...
the border thickness changes too.
...
...
...
...
...
So I'm going to repeat this boring procedure until I get it.

Thanks in advance
