Hello everybody out there using Inkscape,

Is it possible to get the exact coordinates of a node handle and change their numeric values? One can of course zoom in and look at the coordinates of the mouse cursor, but that's not perfectly precise. I also found this thread in the forum (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=295) but it doesn't really contain a good answer.

The answer given there (the XML editor) is pretty much the best answer there is. It's obviously not very user friendly, at least when using very complex paths, but it does work. You can open the XML editor with the path selected and basically just count out the nodes, or try by trial and error which coordinates you need.
