"Center Drawing" in "Shape" should also include the coordinate system, i.e.
the drawing origin. I.e., all shapes should have the same coordinates after
and before "Center Drawing".
As it is today, all shapes get new coordinates when I do "Center Drawing". I
must re-position the drawing origin.
There should also be a "Center Drawing" variant, where I point at a point,
which I want to be the new center of the drawing.
I have today my own work-around for this:
I have two stencil shapes (for each drawing scale I use) in a non-printed
layer. These two shapes are
1) a copy of the "inner contour" of the drawing head (completed with "some
extra junk" to force it aligned to the head's inner contour)
2) a marker which I place at position (X,Y) = (0,0).
I place the inner-contour copy so that it shows where I want the head
contour to be relatively to the shapes, and I place the marker at (X,Y) =
(0,0). Then I do "Center Drawing", next moving the origin to the marker
(Ctl-drag-and-drop of the "+" up-left where the rulers cross).
