Here's the xml, extracted from content.xml, for a regular hexagon that I created manually:ģ.971cm x 3.435cm is within about 0.1% of the expected 2:1.732 ratio for a perfect hexagon. The document content is always in the archive component named "content.xml". You can open them with any unzip utility or file archive tool, and edit the xml components of the document stored as "files" in the archive. The Apache OpenOffice User Forum is an user to user help and discussion forum for exchanging information and tips with other users of Apache OpenOffice, the open source office suite. The description there includes one workaround that I had not thought of: you can edit the exact position of a snap point, then drag the object point to the snap point, giving the point an exact position-well, as exact as allowed by the clumsy OOo coordinate handling, anyway.Īs for editing the xml, all ODF files are actually standard zip archives.

You can register there and add your vote (up to two) or comment to that issue.

There's at least one request for it: Issue 19867: allow exact positioning of Béziercurves, rotation point, mirror line, snap point and when editing points, although it doesn't seem to have a lot of support so far: no votes, no comments, no response to the feedback request. A polypolygon consists of multiple polygons combined in one. For polygons and Bézier curves, Draw offers a complete set of tools that let you accurately edit the contour of an object. I would hardly call it a "basic feature", but it definitely would be handy in some cases.
