You can just clone a shape specifying the area to cover. Is that not the same?

Hi Not sure where I should post this.
I wonder if it's possible to have a autofill added to Inkscape in a future upgrade. This would be a boon to die cutter users.
by autofill I mean, if you draw a shape (or shapes) there would be a button (ideal) or a menu command to click that would fit as many of the shape(s) to the page as possible in the size drawn. so if I were to draw a star & triangle at 3 inch X 3 Inch each clicking the autofill button/command would put 9 images on a A4 page (3 across by 3 down)
I'm assuming this is not something you can do now (I use 0.47 as it's the only version that Signcut recommend to use with a digital die cutter)
