scripts/find center

Postby kjw » Wed Nov 11, 2009 2:20 am

Can anyone point me to where I might find scripts for Inkscape? I have no idea what to look for online. Also, is there a way to set the "0"'s location on the rulers? I know with Illustrator 7 (only one I've ever used) that you could place them anywhere and I'd like to be able to place the intersection of the verticle and horizontal 0's axis in the center of what I'm working on. Also, is there an easy way to find and mark the center of a line?

There was talk about having a repo for all inkscape extensions but nothing so far, you can find most of them in Inkscape and some more listed here http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... Repository

Moving zero point of the coordinating system is an often requested feature, but it's not implemented yet.

The 0.47 version has turbo snapping options, there you can select to snap to line centers, this might be what you need.
