I import shapes into inkscape from other programs. Often the paths are not aligned in the correct rotation. They are off by arbitrary angles, like 174.55 degrees. or 5.23

current process -

I pick two adjacent nodes out of the path that are supposed to be "horizontal" and use Measure to find the angle they are at. Then I do math (outside of Inkscape) to determine the angle I need to use to rotate the whole path to be horizontal. (This is an angle with up to 0.01 precision.) Then select the whole path, and use Transform to rotate the path by the number I computed.

is there an extension out there that would do this for me so I don't have to measure and compute the corrective angles myself?

Just learned the hard way that 0.5" Registration Inset marks are no longer supported. I am truly the only person who ever used this? I've got 200+ files now that I can't cut in SS 5. :\

Downgrading seems to be my only choice - right?
