--- Comment #3 from Owen Genat <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #2) > I disagree, changing the measurement unit does not change the values that > are stored in metric units in the document. Hmmm. I see what you mean. Because ODF references the SVG specification a 2x2 cm rectangle drawn at offset 2 cm (x) and 2 cm (y) with default 1 cm margins results in: <draw:custom-shape draw:style-name="gr1" draw:text-style-name="P1" draw:layer="layout" svg:width="2cm" svg:height="2cm" svg:x="3cm" svg:y="3cm"> <text:p/> <draw:enhanced-geometry svg:viewBox="0 0 21600 21600" draw:type="rectangle" draw:enhanced-path="M 0 0 L 21600 0 21600 21600 0 21600 0 0 Z N"/> </draw:custom-shape> That is a problem at the SVG specification level. There is provision in the SVG specification to use User Units: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-SVG11-20030114/coords.html#Units ... however that may require a large change to the manner in which measurement units are currently handled in LO (and maybe ODF). Even then this feature of SVG may not be sufficient. It would be good if there was a way (for example) to create a scale drawing using metric and send it to someone using imperial and have them see the same thing. Currently scale drawing interoperability is difficult across locales with differing measurement units. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
