I decided to use ( 'font-size': Fontsize * .65,) and ( y-(Fontsize*.35)) instead. This is stable and more flexible, but you have to start a new string every time you need a superscript. It would be nice to keep it all in one string, but for what I'm using it for this works fine. I read somewhere tha...

Spoke too soon.
It only works if document properties/units = px and scale = 1.

Thanks Moini,
I used the xlm editor in inkscape and realized baseline-shift was a style attribute. So I added "baseline-shift":"super", to the style and it works

I need my extension to create a superscript. I know SVG supports This, but I don't know how to write it in an extension. Here's a sample of what I'm trying to do. (var2 needs to be a superscript) leng = str (int(var1)) + str(var2) t='rotate(%f,%f,%f) matrix(1,0,0,1,0,-%f)' % (deg,x,y,0) self.addText...

brynn,

I'm just testing the water right now. If it looks like there is enough interest I will.
Can you post a group of extensions (like 5 or 6) there?

ragstian,

Yes, I do have a metric version. I need to update it for .92.
Give me a couple days and I'll post it here

I made this extension for my own use , and was curious if any one else would have a need for it . This version is made to work in Inkscape.92, and uses Imperial measurements (feet, inches, fractions). How it works: select the Bezier tool. While drawing a line, snap to points you wish to measure from...

thanks tylerdurden.
That worked!
And thanks for the link.

When I use inkex.debug in my extensions it returns units in mm not px.
My question is, why, and can it be fixed?

Hi Phil, Good question, The cons - Inkscape dose not render in 3D. If you need 3D use SketchUp. SketchUp has more drafting friendly tools. Extensions can be made to take there place. Most ot the time they work better, but are more limiting. If you're coming from a CAD background, inkscapes flexibili...

Here it is.
The new and improved Dimensions Line Metric.
I included the old directions (the new extension looks different but works just the same).
The directions are a svg file, so just open them in Inkscape.

Thanks, Moini.
I'll take a look at those extensions , and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks for your input. The numbers should be on top of the measurement line. I used my backup version to make this extension, and I think I forgot to hit save last time I worked on it. Anyway , it's an easy fix. As far as the double print, and the measurement line bypass...Well not so easy. A while ...

Hi Moini. Yes I did see simpletransform / boxunion, roughBBox, refinedBBox. I just don't know how to access it. Or what to access. I'm guessing it should look something like this. import simpletransform bbox = simpletransform.refineBBox(node.get('path')) x = bbox [0] [0] [1] [0] And what is xmin, an...

I'm making a python extension, and need the extension to retrieve a selected groups x, y coordinates.
I think this can be done with the bounding box, but I don't know how to do it.
if there's any other way of doing it I'm all ears.

You might want to check out O-Skape Extensions.
Not sure if it's updated for Inkscape .91, but I know it works in Inkscape .48.

Here's the converted extension.
The directions are a svg file, and you should be able to open it in inkscape .
Hope this works.
Let me know what you think.

Did not know you could post zip files here.

Next weekend I should have some time to do it.

Talk to you then,
Good morning.

Ok, this could be fun! If you're interested, I would like to convert one of my extension to metric, and let you try it. Only problem is I do not have any way to make my extensions downloadable. If you know how to use a text editor, I can post the code here and you can copy and paste it into your edi...

Checked out your thesis, very nice! I don't know if any of my extensions would be of any use to you. There all in feet and inch scales. but if there's enough interest I could convert them to metric. what are the common metric scales used in architectural plans ? The Cad tool thing was some time ago ...

I'm a construction contractor in the U.S., and a few years ago I needed to draw some computer plans for a client. So, I looked for a CAD program to use to draw them. What I found was... - A few wonderful programs that cost thousands of dollars (out of my price range). - A lot of inexpensive or free ...

Thanks, Moini.
I did not know about split. Looks very useful.
I'll have to give it a try and see how it works.

Is it possible to retrieve an extensions textbox input as a list? Tried this and got this error ,( ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '6 , 2'). inx <param name=" List " type="string" _gui-text=" List ">0</param> py self.OptionParser.add_option("--L...

I think I found it. Type-o in the UI, my bad.
thanks for the help!

Thanks, Brynn I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, because I've installed a few new units in inkscapes UI and inkex. These units have been installed ever since I've downloaded inkscape .91, and I have had no problems till now. These crashes are rare so it's hard to tell what is causing...
