    I use inkscape to do simple technical drawings which have lots of pictures. Usually I use a scale of 1:50 or 1:20 It would be very very helpful if the length and height of a selected object could be shown in a scaled mm measurement. Is it possible by python to add another unit which I could scale in a given scale. Does some AddOn exist in this regard?

    Maybe the standard measure tool:

    Ahh cool this is a start.

    But still If I would like to make the red rectangle 300 cm long I would need to calculate 300/20 = 1.5 cm and put in 15 mm in the geometrical length box.

    You can put expressions in the numeric fields, if that helps.

    That helps a lot. Is it possible to make the input file bigger. I do not think this will be possible.

    new questions ... 3000/20 returns 150mm and 300cm/20 returns 150mm but 3m/20 returns 3mm

    I do not think the expressions allow unit indicators (m,cm,mm, etc.)
