Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: precision of Draw dimensions - 3 place

hello
for now i-m understand, then my experience graphics, publisher, greeting card, with LOD is good but 
not TOP because LOD is not professional for VECTOR GRAPHIC, to be software high flexibilit and high 
professional is INKSCAPE, (there are many functional like as CAD, Rhino 3d for SNAP for node and 
path, shapes, page.  i say : it's besf for you is INKSCAPE, but LOD is good for base, LOD vs 
INKSCAPE: WINNER is INKSCAPE. LOD cant not compare to inkscape..becausa inkscape compare vs to 
illustrator (adobe) ok?scribus is for page magazine, book, high professional, LOD or LOW is good, 
but libreoffice will be enhancement ok?
but i like libreoffice againt to microsoft office (dollars) ok?

Actually, all I'm doing is laying out a greeting card.  The print shop
needs 1/8" margins, and I'm a stickler for detail.  I agree that Scribus
or a CAD program has more flexibility, but I like LO.

Seems like the consensus is that my suggestion is possible, but will
have to wait for funding.  Makes sense.
