Bug Description
Hi,
- create an Inkscape image with 100 mm width
- export the image with latex output
- check the pdf_tex file, you can see: \setlength{
That is wrong!
* Inkscape use the postscript point unit (1 millimeter = 2.83464567 PostScript points = Big Point)
* LaTeX use the normal point unit (1 millimeter = 2.84528 pt)
--> The Inkscape generated width is to small!
If you measure this 100 mm image with latex:
\documentclass[
\usepackage{
\begin{document}
\newsavebox{
\sbox{
\newlength{
\settowidth{
Width = \the\width
\end{document}
you will get 284.52682pt
http://
The Inkscape output should be 'bp' and not 'pt':
\setlength{

The difference seems small, but you can see this!
I had been wondering why my text is not centered exactly.
After changing from 'pt' to 'bp' in pdf_tex file, the text was centered exactly!!

I think you can fix this bug in few seconds....
