Inkscape

arithmetic operations (summation etc.) on numerical values

Asked by cendo

Hi,

from Corel Draw, I was used to enter values in the width or height in arithmetic format:

1+1 (which was evaluated 2)
or
1*1.05 (evaluated to 1.05)

I can't find similar feature in Inkscape, or am I missing something?

thanks
peter

Current Inkscape versions do not have such a feature, but it was added recently in the development branch and will be available in the next major version (0.49).
