Hello.

I am new to inkscape and I do not know wheater inkscape even supports the features I am looking for.

I want to draw a design. Therefor I need the possibility of drawing a special distance. For example: Draw a first point and then draw a line to the right just of a special length eg 5mm (or 25 px).

I need that so that I can later on export it as a ps-file that can be again reformattet and then printed if necessary.

How to do this?

Thanks in advance
Christian

HI Christian,

for instance you can use horizontal and vertical Guides. You can set them up precisely with mm/cm/px/... parameters and then you have to enable the "Align to Guides" in the Document Settings.

In the newest Inkscape I think you can also use rotated guides.
