hi Linda,
based on your information that illustrator uses 72dpi, i did some tests.
if i export my AI-Files to PNG using 72 DPI (command line option -d 72) everything is perfect. but, i need a svg file. I am not able to export the svg file with a dpi-setting. sure, dpi have no meaning... So... i am ... without imagination.
i tried to set every dpi-value i found in preferences to 72 DPI. i tried to set width/height values during export via command-line.
So, is my last chance to enclose image with a scale-matrix?
thanks a lot, i appreciate your help!

Hi Linda,
thank you. unfortunately the dpi export/import value is ignored during the export.... i tried this already.
Hmm....That sounds...unique. But what are you trying to export -- svg. I don't think 'dpi' has a meaning until you are rendering on something so for 'svg' -> 'svg', no dpi is needed.
But you need to have the 'dpi' in inkscape set to the same 'dpi' that's associated with his document in AI.
so, the problem is that illustrator is using the wrong dpi in his AI-Files?
That sounds like it.., but I don't see a place to set that except for raster rendering (which seems to have 72/150/300 as options).
You might want to make sure that their inkscape is using the same value as their OS's value for their display. I.e. set inkscape's default to whatever their OS is using for screen size.
Best would be to make sure the OS value is 'correct' for their display, (take their screen resolution divided by measured inches of their display. Using a ruler is the best way). Horizontal SHOULD equal vertical so you should only have 1 value for your display's dpi.
