When you scale objects in Inkscape, it either scales the stroke with the object, or it leaves the stroke width alone. I think I've seen a button for it on another post next to "Affect:" but can't find it.
Where is this option actually located?

It is not a duplicate. I've already looked at that post - it's the one I referred to - and it does not explain where the options are – Philip Hartfield Mar 1 '17 at 19:35

@PhilipHartfield: If you cannot find the buttons with those two screenshots, you are likely having a technical issue, which would be off-topic here. – Wrzlprmft♦ Mar 1 '17 at 20:11

How is that off topic? My inkscape version is most likely just different. – Philip Hartfield Mar 2 '17 at 11:53

According to just the title of the question, this would be an answer for many visitors: If you're looking for the docked dialog on the right side of the screen. Open with: Object menu > Fill and Stroke. (CTRL+Shift+F) – rubo77 Jun 6 '18 at 7:08
The setting appears at two places:
1. In the toolbar (see related question)
- Make sure that the toolbar is shown (
View > Show/Hide > Tool Controls Bar). - Select the mouse tool (F1).
- In the toolbar, click the icon for scaling strokes.
2. In the preferences dialog
- Open the preferences dialog (
Edit > Preferences...or shift+ctrl+p) - Go to
Behaviour > Transforms - Select
Scale Stroke width

@PhilipHartfield On top left of this answer there are three buttons: An up arrow (upvotes this answer), a down arrow (downvotes this answer), and a checkmark (accepts this answer). – Socowi Mar 7 '17 at 9:21
