2011-12-02 09:11:43 su_v description I wish that users could define their own coordinate system: 1) Set origin position on document. 2) Set scale/create new units of measure. 3) Set orientation (wich way is - and +) - possibly by negative scales. Presets of these 3 could be made. The svg native coordinates whould be a selectable preset. The equivalence between native and human units whould be configurable. When changing an aspect of the coordinate system, choice between : -Keep the figures, change size/position (1 inch becomes 1 cm, top-left becomes center). -Keep the size/position, change figures (1 inch becomes 2.54cm, top-left stays top-left). Possibility for objects(or layers ?) to have different coordinate systems. Changing a unit or origin would scale/move only objects defined in/relative to that unit. (that last one very is far-fectching and unlikely to happen) Related Feature Requests : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1450125&group_id=9 3438&atid=604309 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1247449&group_id=9 3438&atid=604309 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1247444&group_id=9 3438&atid=604309 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=995860&group_id=93 438&atid=604309 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=859982&group_id=93 438&atid=604309 I wish that users could define their own coordinate system: 1) Set origin position on document. 2) Set scale/create new units of measure. 3) Set orientation (wich way is - and +) - possibly by negative scales.
