141 5. Set up your grid via File → Document Properties → Grid and File → Document Properties → Snap as Suragch suggested. Or go to Inkscape preferences → Snapping and Inkscape preferences → Grid to affect all documents you edit. On my Inkscape, the grid spacing was set to 1px which is not going to be helpful, so increase it to ...
And I know about dynamic offset but when I try to do it to multiple objects (which I need in this case) Inkscape just switches to Edit path by nodes and doesn't show the handle to control the inset. However if I try to do it with each object individually I can't find any numerical control to make sure the offset is the same for all objects.
select the path you want to mirror. select in the Path menu the item Path Effects. in the Path Effects dialog, click on the + sign (add an effect) and select Mirror symmetry. choose the right mode in the Path Effects dialog (eg. Freely defined mirror line) by then selecting the node tool the reflection line appears, and its handles can be dragged.
The biggest difficulty with Inkscape is getting the processes of GIMP or other image editors out of your head because this program needs a different approach. Instead of just using a selection tool then copy and pasting. You need to create a selection mask with a new layer and the shape of another object.

The dialog allows to edit the CSS properties of the selected item, and is possible to add new properties by clicking the + button near the CSS selector definition:
Here is a similar question for Illustrator: Making a Shape Edge Vertical in Illustrator. – JohnB. Sep 7, 2013 at 16:34. 1. move the bottom left corner? – Scott. Sep 7, 2013 at 18:37. I solved my problem with guide lines and snap to cusp nodes / snap to guides. But I had hoped, there was a simpler way to make lines vertical or horizontal.
There are some filters available in Inkscape which can speed up complicated tasks. For instance, i wanted to remove white background of an image to make it transparent. I used the following method / filter in Inkscape. Select the image object. For versions < 0.91 Go to Filters -> Transparency Utlities -> Light Eraser For version 0.91
Each command in shell mode must be a complete valid Inkscape command line but without the Inkscape program name, for example "file.svg --export-pdf=file.pdf". ( see inkscape manual ) 2) Add to the above script the convert syntax stated in philippe-b answer which merges all the generated PNGs to a single ICO file
