A couple things to look for: Make sure to define a mainpoint for all shapes where it makes sense (since 0.95). Make a .sheet.in file so that it is easily translatable. Don't just trust automatic generating of PNG and connection points from exporting as shape, but it's a good start. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
