Hi Bernie, Could you elaborate a little bit more about what you're doing. Could you give us a link to an example or something? I can't quite imagine what you mean by "custom object" and "tucked in below box, circle, star, etc...."
With Inkscape, you could click on the Rectangle tool, and draw a rectangle. Ellipse tool and draw a circle or ellipse (or wedge or arc); Star tool and draw all kinds of stars, and by using Shift or Alt keys, make some really amazing kinds of designs.
I always suggest Help menu > Tutorials > Basic and Shapes, for beginners. After that, move on to Advanced (and don't worry, it's not really advanced - it's an introduction to paths, which I tend to think of as the most basic elements of vector drawings). Those 3 tutorials are how I first started with Inkscape.
Or maybe someone else might be familiar with Visio and already understands what you're asking? But if your answer isn't posted, if you could explain a little more what you're doing, it would help me to give a better answer.
All best, brynn

I'm a newcomer to Inkscape so apologies if this is obvious... is it possible to set up a bunch of "custom" objects? i can do it by putting them in a separate window and copying them, but it'd be handy to have them tucked in below box, circle, star, etc. i was thinking about this because i just recently did that in visio {i think they're called "stencils" there}. thanks
{and kudos:Inkscape is really quite amazing}
