Hi Bob,
There's currently no way to do this (that I know of) but it sounds really interesting.
And more like a design task, as in, how would you set the x,y of a specific point in a selection. What would the workflow look like.
Are you interested in making some sketches of how you would see it?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

From other CAD software, I'm accustomed to being able to position an object in a drawing by it's center. For example, I want to locate a 1/2" circle at grid coordinates X 1.000, Y 1.000. In Inkscape, I can create my circle, no problem, and I can enter the X and Y coordinates of 1.000 and 1.000 and the circle appears - but the lower left-hand corner of the box that surrounds the circle is at that location, not the center of my circle, which is in fact at X 1.250 Y 1.250.
My question is, how can I change the reference point, "handle", or whatever it's called in Inkscape to the center rather than the outside corner of this box? I can't believe this is not the default, but I also have not been able to figure out what Inkscape calls this, and how to change it.
Thanks!
