Guys,
I have two questions that bothers me whenever I'm using Inkscape with bitmap files:
1. Whenever I save Inkscape svg files, the bitmap images ( jpg and png types) are not attached to the said Inkscape svg file. So whenever I move the file to another computer, I still have to bring the bitmap files and create a separate subdirectory. Is there a way to make the bitmap files attached to the Inkscape svg files?
2. I work with maps whenever I'm using Inkscape. Is there a way to provide a proper scaling of the objects?
My third question is there anyway to import AutoCAD files (dwg) to Inkscape?
Hope to hear from you soon.

Effects -> Images -> Embed All Images

Not really. I looked into implementing this a while back, but didn't get very far with it. No clue if/when it'll get implemented.

There's been some efforts to do DXF import, but not DWG to my knowledge. If you can find commandline tools that can convert DWG to other formats, then it might be possible to create an import chain, to convert from DWG->AAA, AAA->BBB, BBB->SVG and get it in that way. Usually a lot is lost in the conversion process, but sometimes it works acceptably.
