I have a new installation of Inkscape 1.2 on a Windows 10 system.
Every time I draw a box, it has no outline; I have to turn on the Stroke. So I'd like to make that default.
I select a box which has the stroke I want, and go to the Properties with Shift-Ctrl-P, and select the Box1 Rectangle tool under Shapes. When I click on the "Take from Selection" button, it doesn't "take" the Stroke setting: it stays none
.
If I go to the Pen tool instead and click on its "Take from Selection", that works: the Stroke changes, and then I see that various kinds of curves use a line which matches my original box.
Why doesn't the Box Rectangle tool like settings taken from an object of its kind?
- I miswrote "Box" in the first draft of the question, but the remarks apply to the Shapes->Rectangle item in the Tools defaults panel.
