Canæt help you.... But makes me think of a functionality in Flex (and maybe in Eclipse in general}, that could come in handy in here:
If you select an interace-object and then switch to "code-view", the corresponding object in the code is automatically selected or highlighted. If Inskcape could do a similar trick, to allow for all the weird things user could posibly want to alter... Not that exact node positioning is so weird, ofcourse...

Hello,
in the past I designed a lot of civic arms using Freehand 9 and MX, and became quite friendly with it, though I always had to run it in VMware. I was long since then on the search for a replacement, and years ago stumbled upon sodipodi and now inkscape.
It fulfills almost all my needs, and far exceeds (in terms of usability w/ keystrokes, cloning/mirroring etc.) the possibilities I came to use in Freehand.
One thing though remains, which I'm at a loss in making them work as I want them to.
a) If I have a path, which is made up of various nodes (as happens with every shape, say a circle and a square, merged into a
a b +-------------+ | | | | | | | | + c + d _ _/ --_ _-- --+-- e shape. This later is comprised of five nodes (a..e). But if I want to place them on predefined positions, there's no possibility to do so, e.g. having Node e on (300, 0).
I can either use the mouse to drag it near this point (but will never manage to do it exactly), or use the XML editor, in which I don't see the point (b/c it's such a royal pain searching through it and finding finally this point. obviously this should then be done for all five points)
I can also use the grid and snap to grid functions, but I don't want to be limited to only integer numbers, sometimes I want a point to be at 0.155,10.245 (or something else),
So: is there a possibility to enter the coordinates one drags the node with the mouse (this would certainly also be cool for the handles of nodes)
