Hi Zoltan,

Every object in the print composer can be positioned/scaled with exact numbers - have a look at the "Position and Size" group of every items properties. This has been around since ages (at least since version 1.7).

Alternatively/in addition you can also use snappable grids and guidelines.

Hope this helps?
Exactly what I want - This is only the second time I'm needing to use the composer, and the first time I only needed a dump print, so didn't bother to fiddle with the options. This time, when I added the map to the composer and saw it was wonky, I deleted it and started looking for plugins before noticing the "Item Properties" tab.

Big thanks,
Zoltan

Hi,
Is there a way to set exact print composer sizes and map positions?

I have set a composer canvas size of 460mm by 275mm, and an area of interest (made up of one cropped raster and 12 cropped vector maps) that is exactly that size, at 1:500 scale. Adding this to print composer canvas using a mouse is not exactly accurate. I've searched plugins, but noticed nothing useful.

Does print composer by any chance create a text file that I can hack to achieve this?

Regards,
Zoltan
