Comment 0 for bug 171488

I wish that users could define their own coordinate system:
1) Set origin position on document.
2) Set scale/create new units of measure.
3) Set orientation (wich way is - and +) - possibly by
negative scales.

Presets of these 3 could be made.
The svg native coordinates whould be a selectable preset.
The equivalence between native and human units whould
be configurable.

When changing an aspect of the coordinate system,
choice between :
-Keep the figures, change size/position (1 inch becomes
1 cm, top-left becomes center).
-Keep the size/position, change figures (1 inch becomes
2.54cm, top-left stays top-left).

Possibility for objects(or layers ?) to have different
coordinate systems.
Changing a unit or origin would scale/move only objects
defined in/relative to that unit.
(that last one very is far-fectching and unlikely to
happen)
