Thanks, Alvin, but how do I read the value of an XML-variable so it can be displayed in the drawing as a dynamic field (e.g. like fields in Word). [we use Inkscape for drawings in our reports, so we would like to have the filename on the drawings so they can be located on the server easily] Peter -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: alvinpenner [mailto:penner@...2467...] Gesendet: Freitag, 6.

If you open this with a text editor, then you will see that one of the lines in the header says: sodipodi:docname="testname.svg" You can also see this name inside Inkscape by going to Edit->XML Editor and clicking on the top line, which looks like <svg:svg id = "x"> hth, Alvin Penner testname.svg <http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/file/n4967843/testname.svg> -- View this message in context: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Include-Filename-as-Variable-in-Drawing-...
