Hello fsmMLK, I am new to Inkscape, running on mas OS, Iam trying to add this extension but it does not show up in the Extension menu. I have download and copied the content of inkscapeMadeEasy first in my /Users/username/.config/inkscape/extensions and then the content of inkscapeDimensions ... but nothing . Can you help please.
when I first created a linear linear, everything worked fine. But when I then create a linear dimensions, the dimension arrow of the previously created disappears. Can you fix this? Also, can the annotated arrows be the same as linear linears? Thanks
Thank you very much for the "Dimensions" tool! It's a great timesaver. I do have a question about the numerical value shown for the dimension. Under document properties, I set the scale factors to 1.0 user units per mm. I created a 40 mm square, set display units (at the top of the Inkscape window) and the dimension units (in the Dimensions window) both to "in", and the dimension scale factor to 1.0. Inkscape displays a width and height of 1.575 in as expected (40/25.4=1.5748). However, the Dimensions tool (with two significant digits) indicates "0.42". Where does that come from? I expected it to indicate "1.58", like Inkscape. I could change the Dimensions scale factor (to approximately 1.58/.42) to correct the displayed dimension, but why would that be necessary?
Upon further investigation, I found Inkscape 0.92 seems to handle scaling poorly. Specifically, when setting the scale factor (in document properties) different from 1, the view box has a different size than the page as expected. However, the rulers still show the position and size of the paper, not the view box. Also, the X, Y, W, and H values are for the paper rather than the view box. This makes it awkward to specify object sizes using real-world dimensions.
This seems to have been fixed in Inkscape 1.0beta1. However, the Dimensions extension apparently doesn't work there. (I installed the files in the extensions directory, but nothing showed up in the extensions menu.) I hope you will port the Dimensions extension to 1.0beta1. In fact, since they have apparently changed the way scaling works, effort spent on 0.92 might have to be repeated with 1.0.
I'm running Inkscape 0.92 under Debian Linux, and 1.0beta1 under MacOS.
My mistake - I'd installed the files incorrectly in Inkscape 1.0beta1 on the Mac. After fixing that, the Dimensions extension does show up in the extensions menu. Unfortunately it generates an error:

my extension is not ready to run with inkscape 1.0. I am waiting to have a more stable 1.0 version and some expension documentation to make the adjustments.
I got so many mistakes trying to make your extension run. Played with Inkscape 0.91 + 0.48 / Latex en-/dis-abled in config as well with + without # in "inkscapeMadeEasy_Draw.py"

Hi @reselty. Maybe if you try to post this into our official forum or on our chat (chat.inkscape.org) someone will try to take a look, but no promises.

fsmMLK, could it be that the name is accidentally the one of the image instead of the extensions'?
yes! tks
Maybe you want to change the name of your upload, then? Click on Edit to change the title.

Hello! Thanks for this! Could you do a option with serif dimension?
What do you mean by serif dimension?
when I first created a linear linear, everything worked fine. But when I then create a linear dimensions, the dimension arrow of the previously created disappears.
Can you fix this?
Also, can the annotated arrows be the same as linear linears?
Thanks
I cannot make this work on Windows...
Serif dimmension: https://allaboutcad.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/acadtips_arch_dim-4.jpg
There is a way to? Also, how to change font style in all?
included new marker styles, including serif. =)

I will check what is going on.

No answer ??
Hi all,
Just wanted to post a link to my installation notes for this extension, without Latex, on Ubuntu 18.04 :
