Re: fantastically old lxml problem

That didn't work for me (inkscape 0.92.2) but uninstalling all inkscape versions, then re-installing the latest version did work. Some more solutions here:

Re: New group of extensions related to guides

@ragstian: I have added the option to add centered guides inside gutters ;-) (latest version, for Inkscape 0.91 only). If it's for web design and these middle guides need to be positioned on the round pixel, be sure to set the gutter width to an even number. Wow, thanks so much! That surely speeds ...

Re: point as guide

Using actual shapes is not an option because they show up in the SVG which I use in a game. But adding it to a different layer and disabling it when exporting might solve that. Quickly enabling and disabling the guides is also a good idea. I made a feature request for point guides and it was suggest...

point as guide

Is it possible to make a point object which is used for snapping only? Sort of a guide line but instead of being a line, just a point only.

Guide lines have points which can be snapped to (origin of guide) as well, but it clutters up the screen a bit when I need a lot of snap points.

Re: CAD

The image that you posted can easily be created in Inkscape without any CAD tools whatsoever. Yes, true. But I meant that it would be just faster if Inkscape would support a few CAD features. The Inkscape CAD features are not meant to replace either a CAD program, or make something impossible possi...

Re: CAD

Yes, doing this in CAD alone would take a long time too. But if Inkscape would support CAD features, that graphic would probably only take an hour or so.

Re: Automate Save As

I don't think Auto Save will work, because I work with an SVG file, but need to export it to XAML. If I work with the XAML file, the auto save will work, but I will use all inkscape specific data (guides etc). Besides, I want to save on demand, and with Auto Save, I have to wait for the next save, w...

Re: CAD

That is great news! Any way I can get it and test it out?

I tired a few CAD programs and I find the workflow and interface of AutoDesk Inventor the most intuitive by far. Especially the auto dimensioning- constraint feature is very helpful. See this video:

Can you add an option to create a guide in the middle of two other guides?
That would be very helpful.

Automate Save As

Is there any way to automate this with a hotkey (using a script extension):

File-Save As->Microsoft XAML->Save->Silverlight compatible = true->Ok->Overwrite = yes, don't ask.

Perhaps some code to get me started? That would be awesome.
