Dont worry. When you get the shape it will resize. > When I export it as a shape file and try to add it > to a sheet, Dia crashes. Maybe the addition was not right.( And Dia is not very friendly about errors on shapes and sheets) I attache a sheet, shape and icon I made from your files: --- I took your pump svg-file and exported to a shape-file and to a png-file. (For the png-file I choose a small size, 22x22) --- Then with a text editor I 'open' the 'connections' tag and added a connection point intending it to be at center of the shape; I finised it with main="yes" --- Then using the "sheets and objects" from main Dia menu I prepared a sheet file (After creating the sheet file I had to close and reopen Dia to see the recently created sheet file) > 2. How do I set a mid-point? I did it by trial and error ... Instead of inspecting the shape file to "exactly compute" coordinates for a central point, I choose a possible one and connected a line to the pump. When touching the line its extremes are seen ... > 3. Is there any non-textual way to set connection points? I don't know. > 4.

Your shapes represent machines and ours represent, for example, heat losses ... (Please, forgive my English). > Nick, Lars: Please write me any suggestions or corrections. Dia is also good to prepare simple shapes Lars: I remember that before version 0.94, whenever one exported to shape, one also got the png file offered with small size. But now this does not happen.
