Set coordinates to selected objects independently

Postby caos21 » Sat Oct 10, 2015 1:16 am

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to set coordinates to a selection of objects independently.
Suppose you have objects :
A in position (0,5)
B in position (100,30)
C in position (200,3)

Image

I can select all three objects and choose new coordinates (10,20) but in this case
the relative distance between the objects is preserved and then you will have
the whole selection moved to pos (10,20) (i agree that it is the desired behavior).

Image

What i want is to move each objects to this new coordinate without updating
the coordinates one by one.

Image

In case that feature does not exist, I would like to ask for information related to
the development of an extension (in python) to inkscape.

Thanks

Or Select All, then change the coordinates on the Selection tool control bar.

For info on writing extensions: https://inkscape.org/en/develop/#extns. Also, I just heard about a tutorial for non-developers, for writing extensions: https://medium.com/@xaviju/inkscape-ext ... 72dda360fe

Or if you want someone else to write the extension, you could try funding it: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/funded-development/
