Hi!

Imagine I have an Inkscape file (https://www.evernote.com/shard/s35/sh/13548dcc-2b50-4b9c-b383-e8c22536b397/2e51c7acc1d33630008dc28504232761) with the following rectangle:



I want to calculate the Y coordinate reported by Inkscape (596.654).

How can I do it?

I tried this:

1. The top of the page seems to have a Y coordinate of 744.
1. I subtract from that number the y coordinate of the rectangle in the XML editor (417) and its height (37) and get 744 - 417 - 37 = 290.

Note that the rectangle doesn't have any transforms and doesn't belong to a group.

Thanks in advance

As you can see in the XML editor, the rectangle *is* inside a group. Only in Inkscape, that group works as a layer. That layer has been moved at some time, it has a transform. Remove that transform, and you get your 291
