So IĀ have an SVG which was exported at 96dpi. When I import it into Inkscape 1.2 it always comes out the same size, regardless of what I set the import DPI to.
I've tried varying both the import dialog DPI and the Default Import DPI in the preferences. The result is always exactly the same size.
I'm happy to sort out the scaling myself but I was under the impression that this was the basic tool you used to get the scaling right, but it appears to do nothing at all.
I'm trying to export a 1m square from blender onto at 1:10 onto A3 so it comes out at 10cm on the page.
Blender exports at 96dpi. If I import into QCAD, which I'm using as a third point of reference, if I tell the import to import at 96dpi the square comes out at exactly 10cm as it should. If I tell it it's 90dpi the square comes out too large at 106.6mm, again as I'd expect.
Inkscape appears to completely ignore the dpi setting, the cube is always 10cm. I discovered this because an addon allows different output dpi. I had an SVG at 150dpi and I expected, as the import process asks me for a dpi, that it would be taken into account, but the cube always came out too small. i.e. it always interprets it as 96dpi.
In this case, rendered means conversion to bitmap.Ā
It is simple enough to scale objects in Inkscape, since the numeric fields allow expressions. For more complicated scaling, there is the Real Scale extension.

The dpi setting in the import dialog relates to the choice of "Embed the SVG file n an image tag...".
Is the goal to change the scale of the imported SVG? More details on the desired outcome may be useful.
