HELLO EVRYBODY, ;)

I'm new in this forum. Not seeing this topic before I start ;) :

I'm trying to export an image grouped with a text, and that succeeds all fine, out of opendrawdokument. But when I try to adjust Weight, Height change automatically too and the other way around. Is it and how possible to disconnect this?

Greetings and welcome to the community forum!

Sorry, I don't think this is possible to do at the image export step. At that point, the pixel dimensions (height & width) are set based on the dimensions from the drawing. If you change either pixel size, the other will change to match the size set in the drawing.

If you need a specific pixel height & width, you may have to export to an image, then open the exported image in an image editor and adjust the exact size as needed.

If you use a rectangle shape (from the rectangle tool, not the rectangle from "Basic shapes" toolbox), you can format text to fit to frame. See attachment.

Another approach is to convert text to vector graphic. That makes it more flexible in the graphical sense, but it is no longer editable as text.

If you need to create the image content and export to a specific pixel size, then you have to employ some software other than OO at some point.

You can create the content in OO, export to some pixel size that's convenient and supported by OO Draw, then open the result in some image editor (for example, photoshop or gimp and many others) and either scale or crop the image to the final size.
