This may provide some insight for the Inkscape developers on how they can add accurate dimensions to their draw program. Autodesk understands dimensioning and precision. Most draw programs have poor or nonexistent tools for dealing with units and dimensions.

That's because vectors are unitless. I've had to constantly explain this to graphic designers I've worked with...

I've got iDraw (Now Autodesk Graphic) on OS X. It's okay - but I still long for something that can go head-head with Visio. Omnigraffle is sort of in that space - but at the end of the day, there is a reason why 99%+ of network diagrams are done in Visio - just seems to fit in better when you are trying to line up routers, draw connections between them and network segments.

In what way? I use Inkscape on the regular and have never had any problems with dimensions or precision (although sometimes I do have to create and position a guide and use it to set certain things, like bezier curve control points)
