Hello

I am working on a 3d topographical map. The laser cutter needs to be fed a separate .svg file for each topographical layer. I am now working with 3 layers. 1 an underlying map similar to a google map. 2 the topographic elevation contours 3 Roads

In Qgis, the map software I use, if I change scale or position in the selected layer this change is reflected in other layers automatically.

Can I replicate this behavior in Inkscape? If not what can I do?

Thanx

Hi.

A viewbox is used to assign the measures to the drawing units.
In 0.92 you can specify a scale factor in the document settings (Shift+Ctrl+D).
Not sure it would solve your problem, I don't have much experience with it.

When older svg savings are opened a dialog comes up with options on the scaling.
(As far as I understood at the irc #inkscape-devel scaling all objects and setting a viewbox may interfere with eachother?)

You can use Menu: Edit>Select all in all layers (Ctrl+Alt+A) to scale/move all layers together.

Thanx

Ctrl+Alt+A !!!
