First conclusion : For some strange reasons, when you re-dimension an object using the keyboard, you must make several attempts and persevere until you reach the wanted dimensions ... ![]() |
Let's verify now the accuracy of our line in QCAD (see the article).
Again, it is surprising : Our line is now only 49.5 mm long (we can spare it the 0.022/1000) ! And our width has been lost, we now have in Qcad the default width of the layer, and not the one set in Inkscape.
In the "Fill and Stroke" box, Inkscape offers a way to specify how the line should end:
You can choose between "end on the stroke" or "end on the node" , rounded or square.
Beware: These modifications are only style modifications. That is to say they do not modify the position of the nodes in the SVG file. They are not taken into account if you import the file in QCAD... ![]() |
The "bounding box" is the rectangular selection box that surrounds the selected objets.
In the selection bar, it is the dimensions of this box that are indicated with the "W" and "H" parameters.
It is possible to specify in Inkscape two different behaviours of this bounding box :
The choice of the bounding box is set in the "File/Inkscape preferences/Tools" menu :
Note : When you use the "geometric" bounding box, it is no more possible to change the dimensions in the fields "W" and "H" of the selection bar.
You must use instead the box "Object/Transform.../Scale tab". (see summary below)
To summarize, in order to master the lengths and dimensions in Inkscape, here are the steps you need to follow :

Here you go, comments are welcome.

bonjour
Pour maîtriser les dimensions, d'un simple trait par exemple, on peut le manipuler avec l'outil "Editer les noeuds ou les poignées de contrôle d'un chemin (F2)". Avec cet outil la largeur du trait ne bouge pas quand on modifie ses extrémités.
Avec l'outil "Sélectionner et transformer des objets (F1)" la largeur évolue avec l'orientation du trait.
cordialement
