: How can I preserve border width when scaling an object with Inkscape? I want the borders to stay fixed in Inkscape when I'm resizing an object. I found these buttons in Inkscape v0.48.3.1,

I had the same problem, and the suggested solution doesn't work for me as well. I found another way around.

You select the 'Edit path by nodes tool' (F2), and select the path you want to transform. Select all nodes by pressing Ctrl+a. You then press the 'Show transformation handles for selected nodes' button (the four black arrows pointing towards each other).

You can now transform the path without changing the stroke width.

I've tried under Windows with your version and with the most recent one and it works as usual.

In order to maintain the border stroke while scaling the object, the first button should be up (in your screenshot seems to be down, i.e. the stroke is scaled with the object):
