The px setting of inkscapes default template is the first hurdle. Partly due to the inconsistency between other softwares and partly due to myself being utterly confused by what was going on (and i’m still somehat confused as it is not clear why this is DPI stuff is messing with straight forward real world units) We can’s all be doing that little extra step but in this case I could. It’s annoyances like this that eventually lead to greater things. (if it starts to mess with my mind i may reconsider…) I’m very unfamiliar with the Imperial stuff and i try to stay away from it as much as possible, but in this case i will give it a try. Meaning that i need to make 2 templates, one for Metric and one for Imperial units. So this we would want to be in mm or inch. If that unit remains to be set to px (inkscapes default) then document states that the entire document is in px. That sets a pointer in the SVG’s XML named: inkscape:document-units The ONLY setting that sets the unit for the document globally is the one in the ‘Document preferences’ This dropdown only sets the unit for the path that you are currently drawing. ![]() The people over at Inkscape told me that this is actually not the correct way. Which let’s you switch the units from px to mm or inches seems relivant. I’m sure you are aware of it, but I wanted to add to the discussion this little drop down So far so good, getting closer to a workable solution, isn’t loading either today, so i can’t try that step right now I also managed to save an svg from FreeCAD (i had to pad the sketch im part designer workbench to make it work) Sketchup: i can’t afford to download the entire app once per day, that would cost more then an entire maslow with todays celldata rates, still going to try this option, ![]() Once we have a template then future new users can just UTFT (use the f#ck’n template) ![]() I still have hope to find a solution, but it also depends on my my limited command line skills. If there is a command line option to change the dpi, and i stongly suspect there is, then it should be scriptable, and since it is possible to attach a script to a template. This i why i’m now searching if there is a command of some kind that can be scripted, as it really seems to be an inkscape value outside of the svg, Ive looked in the svg xml but can’t find anything that defines 72 90 or 96 values I think DPI is saved with a document but I’m not sure it’s saved in document templates.
