Dear Andreas and Ujaval i could accomplish quite easily 2 of the 3 goals i had with the frame thing. as per my wish to write coordinates in thousands format,i couldnt do it unless using some complex workaround. it would be great to have a button for building expression also near to the items in the print composer menu (in my case, near the reticules>write coordinates>format menu), that would make things a lot easier. is it a feature scheduled for next qgis version? most pro maps frames dont read the whole metric coordinates like 1234000 N or 567000 E:they only have thousands (1234, 567) and some even have smaller and bigger numbers,see for example: https://trekkingunpassoallavolta.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/determinare-coordinate-geografiche-base.jpg or: https://imageshack.com/f/4rparticolarej it would be great to do the same in qgis out of the box, without graphic postprocessing!
