I definately recall someone suggesting a workaround (possibly invovling groups) that allowed one to change things so that the transformations disappeared and you got the actual coordinates instead. Hopefully whomever it was will tell us again, I cannot seem to find a copy of the message although I thought I saved it.
hello :
I spent the message : ......./......... one thing that would be cool for what we are doing, is to be able to apply the transformation of a group directly to the element of the groups (without the transform attribute on the group, directly to the coordinates of the path). (maybe it is allready possible to do that with preference ?)
the workaround we use is group, apply transformation, ungroup,selecte all ellement,and in the transform menu (Shift+ctrl+M) check relative and apply. ...///........
