If anyone is interested to keep updated with Inkscape Development, I highly recommend the Youtube channel [0] of Martin Owens. Martin is an Inkscape developer who added the multipage support, finalized the shape builder tool, and much more.

You can ask ChatGPT itself.

Ten years ago I was reading [0] and I remember your name was mentioned somewhere. Here is a quote:

> Locating elements by their class name is a widespread technique popularized by Simon Willison (http://simon.incutio.com) in 2003 and originally written by Andrew Hayward (http://www.mooncalf.me.uk)

[0] Page 91 from "Pro JavaScript Techniques" by John Resig.

One can also use Inkscape Open Symbols [1].

Here is a decent video comparing both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2XfFvW4yII

Here is a link to the release video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U4hVbvRr_g

It looks like you're avoiding answering the question related to follow up steps where a customer pays for a thing, and the money gets to me.

On Linux, I use Gnome Suchi.

There are some commercial software that you can run via wine.

so far, the best open source alternative (it's not perfect) is Inkscape with the new multi-page feature. You can import/export multi-page PDF documents.

I am just curious to know. You need to know how to do that in Inkscape or just for the sake of sharing the link?

OP shared the link without even reading it!

Nowadays Inkscape is really getting better. I rarely encounter any crashes (on Linux or Windows).

Sorry, I don't know anything about Kig. It seems that it is similar to GeoGebra?

Anyway. You may find this post interesting: https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/

* Arc from 3 points: There is a Live Path Effect for that.

* tangent/normal to a curve: there is an experimental Live Path Effect for tangent (You can get the normal by just rotating the tangent 90 degrees)

* Measure length: Many ways to get that: e.g. the measure tool. or you can use the Measure segments Live Path Effect.

* Measuring the area: There is an extension: Extensions > Visualize Path > Measure Path.

* Measuring angles: again, you can use the measure tool.

* Library of elements: Inkscape has symbols Objects > Symbols. You can also add you own symbols. See also https://github.com/PanderMusubi/inkscape-open-symbols

* Inkscape snapping is way better (See the new smart alignement snapping in version 1.2).

* Inkscape also prints instructions on how to use tools on the status bar

You're using an old version. there were 3 release after that (1.1, 1.1.1, and 1.1.2).

The 1.2 release is expected in a few days (and it has many features with a ton of bug fixes).

That won't be useful for arbitrary curves (non straight lines)

Could you mention some CAD features that are available in Xfig but are missing in Inkscape?

It is much easier to draw in Inkscape. As an example, you can draw a curve and add the "Ruler" Live Path Effect.

"Free" in Free Software doesn't mean 0$ cost.

cheat.sh is your friend. E.g for sed:

curl cheat.sh/sed

Will show you several examples.

Could you provide an example where you need to spend twice the time to correctly format equations in MS Word?

Apparently there are no extensions at all. If I am not mistaken, Javascript can't disable Meta tags.

> Another nice feature would have been to have an integrated library of shapes, to use in your own diagrams.

Inkscape has Symbol libraries. (from the menu : Object > symbols).

You can create you own library. PS: there is also this project: https://github.com/PanderMusubi/inkscape-open-symbols

What a coincidence! just before I come across this post, I was reading this book this morning.
