Re: Fwd: Extension request: Auto-generate rectangles based on input values

I have used inkscape for CAD on occasion. It generally has the features
needed for light CAD work, but I usually move to another tool for more
serious work. For example there are some things that are tricky to
precisely position without resorting to the XML editor.

Although this particular feature is not something I'd use, I'd be in favour
of more CAD like features.

I know lots of people who use inkscape to create designs for laser cutting.
