In Inkscape there are object connectors (Objektverbinder) which can snap to another objects border. Can I set these connectors to stay snapped to the object, even when the object is being moved?
Not at the moment, the snapping is not permanent.
The connector's tool however does allow lines to be drawn between objects which will move, these are from the centers to the other centers of the objects.
Martin,
Hi Martin and Florian,
I'm so sorry. I read and replied the email too fast, and for some reason I thought you were speaking of Dia, not Inkscape. Yes, Inkscape's connectors don't follow the objects.
What I usually do for flowcharts, block diagrams and the like is design them in Dia, where connectors *do* follow objects, and then run the following conversion script to convert it to plain SVG:
=========================================================== #!/bin/bash dianame=$1 gname=`echo $dianame | sed -e "s/..*$//"` svgname=$gname.svg echo Converting $dianame to $svgname inkscape --export-background=#ffffff --export-use-hints --export-plain-svg=$svgname $dianame mirage $svgname ===========================================================
Once again, sorry for the brain fart and resulting misinformation.
