As a side note: A similar problem was the original reason I started coding on Inkscape: The initial plan was to add a simple command line that allows to create objects or read an object list from a text file. (For me) it is just the most efficient way to create objects at exact locations and given dimensions, for example, for technical or scientific illustrations. However, I decided to pursue a more general approach and started integrating Python scripting (which I have put on hold until after 1.0 is out). I would then (if I still had demand) implement the "CAD-like" features as python scripts. The funny thing is, just the hard coded function for creating circles, lines and boxes would have been finished by now if I hadn't chosen the more flexible but complicated approach.

Hello all, We get requests for this CAD-like functionality a LOT, in forums. (For some reason, it seems like a lot of users think of Inkscape as a CAD program.) I'd be curious what developers thoughts about this are. I mean adding this type of feature to all of Inkscape, not just rectangles.
All best, brynn

Dear Ibrahim Duz,
Are you looking for a contractor to help you make your extension? I don't think it would be very expensive, given the requirements.
I'm a contractor, and I've worked on a lot of python extensions. Email me privately if this is what you need.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Dear dev community members, I am not sure whether this is the right way to ask for it. But I would like to make an extension (feature) request for a client of mine who uses your application. He is using Inkscape on a daily basis and doing a lot of repetitive actions in the program for which we thought an extension would be a good solution to reduce the time in his work. This is basically what he wants:
He wants to fill 3 values: Width x Height x Depth (maybe in a popup) Based on these 3 values, 7 rectangles need to be created based on some calculation on the values he entered.
I have added an example outcome of what he wants to be produced. All other values can be calculated based on the initial 3 values he enters.
Is there anyone from the dev team who can help us out and discuss about the further requirements?
Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work!
Kind regards, Ibrahim Duz
