I've made a simple drawing in CAD saved it to a SVG file and imported the drawing in Gimp (as paths). The drawing was placed in the +Y / +X section of the gimp screen. Normaly I work on the +X / +Y section in CAD but It seems to be impossible to work in this section in gimp (not all things work draw is possible, could'n use selections / guides in the +Y / -X sections - I could be wrong). Gimp is working in the -Y / +X section and this is diffcult to use the -Y rulers when using dimensions related to a reference : one have to calculate the values from a new reference in the -Y section. Let's say the SVG drawing is 3570 units high, I have to move the paths to a imaginary reference line Y -4000 to make easy calculations if I draw/place some decorations in the -Y section. It's the first time I did something like that in gimp, so I don't know if my view on that is wrong. I don't feel it as a lack in gimp, so if it is so, it is what it is. No hard feelings about gimp, just want to mention this essue.
