Firstly - congrats on new version. Looks great.
I use Inkscape for designing things for laser-cutting. Here's a really common scenario:
I have a design, with 88,000,000 screw holes, 3mm diameter. I find I need to change the size of the holes to 4mm.
Is there a way of searching and replacing to do this? (keeping the centers centered)
Thanks
Nick

Hello
- Have you tried Tiled Clones?
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles.html
...
There are also some features like arranging objects now
- And of course that there is a search tool based in the SVG xml code. For that, it's better if you divide your objects that compose your edesin in layers and same style objects

Re: Search and Replace
If they are clones, probably no big deal... Change the original.
If the file is an Inkscape document, the xml can likely be easily edited in a text editor( e.g. Textpad), provided the "holes" are circle objects and not paths. Change the value of "r" for all instances. ( e.g. replace "r =3" with "r=4").

Have a nice day.
I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1
The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
