Not the kind of number acrobatics you probably do for breakfast but...

My math abilities are vastly exaggerated. In the kindom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

i rarely use this method because it requires too much concentration and pen and paper Big Grin Especially when you have funky numbered canvases, like 1234x4321px or you need guides at thirds or quarters, etc.


For exact positions, in Image>Guide>New guide use the keys to move up to the left guide position (say 4 PgUp and 3 CursorUp), for the right guide, set the position to the image width, then use the opposite keys (4 PgDown and 3 CursorDown). No need for math. For relative positions Image>Guide>New guide (by percent) is usable for 1/2, 1/4, 1/5 for not for 1/3.

Oh, and fiddly precision work of the Move Tool.

Right, but fiddliness decreases as the zoom factor increases.

In Inkscape you can convert rectangles into guides. Thats nice. Let the program do all the math for you, align and move around. Convert. Voila !

Rectangle select, then Image>Guides>Guide from selection? But how do you determine the rectangle anyway?
