Just wanted to say thanks for making such a useful
tool and not restricting it to KDE /GNOME.

How to Set a Scale (e. g. 1:50)?
by Tobias Besch - Feb 2nd 2006 06:52:25
Hi,
I’m new to Dia.
It looks very good. Congratulations to the developers!
I’d like to draw up a building plan and haven’t found a way to set the
scale of the canvas (e. g. 1:50).
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Cheers,
Tobias

Latex labels in dia
by Leonid L - Feb 25th 2005 21:07:53
I love dia, but I have to switch to some other editors such as ipe and xfig
when I need good looking latex-style labels on my diagrams. Dia would be
golden if it had the same option.

DIA for Windows
by Space Tux - Jun 13th 2004 03:39:59
Hi All!
Dia is an excellent tool to create diagrams. I had some trouble first to
put these diagrams into my Word (Office XP) documents, but when you install
Adobe's SVG viewer plugin and export your diagrams to the SVG format, you
get excellent scalable diagrams!
At the moment of writing:
http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/beta.html
PS. For Java UML Diagramming I prefer Jude! Go check it out!

Trying to use it in Windows
by Myles - Jan 19th 2004 14:10:38
Forget it. You'd think I'm the first person to ever try to import a dia
diagram into MS Word. I can't find a file format that works correctly.
Makes it unusable to me and who knows how many others.
Very frustrating that it's close to being a solid product but there are so
many annoyances that I can't use it (no hot key to toggle grid snap!?!?! or
at least alloy using <alt> to get you off grid while dragging).
Sometimes middle mouse drag will scroll the canvas, sometimes it won't.
Soooo shoddy.

I've had good luck with the WMF format, which can be
exported in the Windows version of Dia (having access
to a Windows library for it). Unfortunately, Word
doesn't understand a whole lot of open formats.

Ctrl-G is already used for Grouping and Ctrl-S for save,
not sure what else would be logical. Using Alt to turn it
off during dragging might be useful. Middles mouse
drag scrolls the canvas if the middle mouse button it
not taken by a context menu (except the bastard
Windows always grabs the middle mouse button for
scrolling, regardless of what the app wants)

Wow
by John Chapin - Feb 5th 2003 09:49:51
Awesome program. Installed from debian's package collection, and have been
using it steadily for the past couple of hours, producing process flow
charts. Zero to Productive in less than 5 minutes. Thanks.

Pasting into normal text objects can be done with Edit->Paste Text, in
properties dialogs with normal Ctrl-V under Windows.

don't remember details. Maybe it's fixed now

Dia is awesome
by Shane Mason - Oct 31st 2002 23:46:43
Dia has saved my life several times, or at least kept me from having to use
Windows (Visio or Rational Rose). It is products like this that keep
Linux/BSD/UNIX users going.
Thanks guys

Outstanding!
by Michael B. Allen - Nov 19th 2001 01:51:31
This application is genuinely good. As a developer I can tell that some
thought really went into this code. It can generate high quality postcript
figures quickly and easily. Need a network diagram ... zap. Need a
schematic of a screen layout ... bang. So far nothing with respect to the
layout engine surprised me. Very consistent. The page layout controls are
fantastic. You can generate/print very nice postscript. I would rather the
right-click menu have some of the more commonly used items at the root
(delete, object specific properties) and it would be great if some settings
could be saved for future settings (e.g scale) but all of the fundamentals
are there. Outstanding job folks! Thank you.

Thank you! I'm very happy that you find it so useful.

Properties entry has gone to the context menu, delete
and some other things could reasonably go there too.
Good idea.

Scale setting is now saved along with the diagram.

Looks promising, but still a ways to go
by Greg Ward - Mar 9th 2000 08:08:19
Dia looks like a very promising start at a real diagram-drawing tool for
the free software world. The biggest drawback right now is the near-total
lack of documentation. The fundamental UI -- drawing lines and boxes and
things, and connecting them up in intelligent ways -- works *very* nicely.
But the rest of the UI -- menus, tool modes, saving/exporting, etc. -- has
a lot of little annoyances. Nothing fatal, just a continual source of
friction between me and the program.

Very useful
by badben - Sep 20th 1999 14:19:41
This is a really cool application.
Of course, it is not as powerful as Visio (Scriping, Thousands of
Icons), but the basic functionality works.
If you're an serious programmer, this is, what you waited for.

Only got about 600 icons, most of which are Cisco
items. But we could start taking icons from other
places, i.e. XFig. And scripting we have, though only
Python at the moment, and not too well integrated.
