Hi David,
an ODG document is just a zip file. So you can open it with any
zip tool (maybe have to rename it to .zip). In this zip is a
content.xml. For each line you find something like this
<draw:line draw:style-name="gr1" draw:text-style-name="P1"
draw:layer="layout" svg:x1="8cm" svg:y1="9.5cm" svg:x2="16.5cm"
svg:y2="13cm">
Now this line goes from 8cm/9.5cm to 16cm/13cm.
There are many tools to deal with zip and xml. If you know
java you can google for "odf toolkit". Another option is
to write a basic macro or OOo extension to export all lines.
Regards,
Christian

Hi Mark
Thank you for that advice but what I am looking for is a file of all of
the coordinates so that I could do additional things with them outside
openoffice.
I am using this for architectural work as an alternative to autocad.
Clients love the colour coding it enables.
Kind regards
David

My most valuable use of OpenOffice is the drawing package.
The coordinates of the end points of lines are stored in the system
but not available to the user.
It would be very helpful if the coordinates of such points were made
available to the user.
Would that be possible ?
R-click on a line and select position and size, then select the tab of
the same name. This shows the position (x,y) of one end of the line
plus the distance (delta_x, delta_y) to the other end. It's not hard
to add them together :-) And arguably the existing way is the more
useful.
(BTW, if you start a new topic, please don't just reply to and change
the subject line of an existing email. That causes your message to
appear down in the depths of another thread of conversation, where it
may be unseen by those who might otherwise offer help.)
