Hei Ravi,

it is not clear to me what your specific problem is?
If you use the maps stored as svg later in Inkscape you need to check for the scale or set it up by yourself. Therefore I would recommend not to print the scale as number, but just the scale bar.

Note, that the scale displayed on screen is the "scale on the screen" and stored as such in the SVG. It is never the same on your print output, because ususally the drawings are scaled to "fit" to the selected paper (check also the printer settings). To have a correct printing of the scale for "Ax" sheets is from my point of view difficult to accomplish and we dont have resources for that.

But I don't know if the print-layout plugin works correct or suffers from similar problems.

so.. to put it clear: Always set/check the map scale in Inkscape after importing from SVG (you may measure for instance the length of a road segment in OJUMP and in Inkscape if that is possible, or add in OJUMP a 1km line as reference for the measurement). Afterwards check the scale again after printing on the paper!

PS: If you have suggestions or more explanations please tell them.
PPS: 1:50 000 means 1cm = 50000 cm = 500m

Hi All,
pardon me for this cross posting..
I use openJUMP (GIS) and the SVG's saved
in INKSCAPE for generation of hardcopy maps.

The projected map in OpenJUMP is in '50 meters= 1
unit'
and when it is imported into inkscape I find the units
changed. '50 meters= 1 unit' is scaled in openJUMP such that
when plotted omn A0 size it will be 1:50,000 scale.

Even the grid snap settings are not snapping when I
import the SVG file..

Please suggest where Iam going wrong.
