Inkscape really need the optionĀ to resize a drawing and page is one step. Currently you have to adjust the page size then select allĀ then guess the rescale sizeĀ then drag the layers to the correct place..................................Ā Ā I cannot comprehend why this isn't a basicĀ option. Im sure most users need to print drawing at different scales sometimes.
Resize documentĀ should either have its own settings in the edit menu or a toggle to "include contents"Ā in the document properties display front page tab.
You can resize the contents first... Ctrl+A ( or select all in allĀ layers), lock the proportions in the controls, then type in the value of H or W. No guessing. Then, Ctrl +Shift + R to fit the page to the rescaled contents.
Thanks but that is exactly what Im trying to avoid.Ā This does not tell you what size you need to rescale to to fitĀ the new page sizeĀ , so you have to guessĀ You then need to relay out your page to fitĀ the new size. Plus I need to make multiple page sizes for plottingĀ
Multiple steps that should be a one click basic function!
In the meantime, you can scale your artwork with precision by scaling in the controls bar... It allows simple expressions: multiply or divide by the ratio of one sheet to the other. No guessing.

I get it. You want to rescale the artwork to fit a specific page size. (Some folks work the other direction.)
