Hi Anna

Thanks for this doc, we use Illustrator but it is nice to see that the 
workflow is similar on InkScape. For our archeological maps, QGIS can't 
make directly printable document and need its share of human edition 
because of a few problems that this document is evocating :
- the loss of the scale/page format
- the uneditable text labels

Some others would be :
- the difficulty to set a correct font scale with the new label renderer
- no layering (1 qgis's layer = 1 CAD's layer)

Still, it is nice to see that OA is using QGIS instead of gvsig ;)
