    I have an interesting challenge, and I'm hoping the community has some ideas. I use Inkscape to create files for a plasma cutter. I need to create a file (or files) that will cut out a 4x1 rectangle with text centered on the part. The text would need to be pulled from an excel spreadsheet.

    Besides manually duplicating the drawing and editing the text each time, I can't think of any solutions. I need to make 184 tags, so I'm definitely up for trying any ideas you can think of!

    Thanks in advance.
