Set the page setup to "Scale" and you can place things wherever you
like relative to the printed area borders.
The printed area borders are called in Dia "page breaks." As you
change the page format (letter, A4, legal etc.), and the margins the
printed area borders change accordingly.
You can hide can also hide the page break/printed area borders by
making their color the same as the background color. You would not
know the Dia is relocating if you have the borders hidden.
You can adjust the page scale change how many pages are shown on
screen. FWIW, I use landscape orientation of the letter size and
scale the page to about 35% (depending on the monitor I am using) to
get the single page border to nearly fit my screen. Then I draw my
diagram to fit this preferred printing format. Dia will create a
tiled printout if you overstep the page borders. I don't usually want
the tiled printout so I find it useful to know exactly where my
borders are.

Are you saying that this is NOT a printing problem? It is
a problem
of viewing the Dia while working on it?
for example : http://vimeo.com/15367203
Zorgh, The blue lines you are seeing are printing page borders. Since
Dia always keeps the diagram to the leftmost and topmost part when
using
the "fit to 1x1 pages" setting, when you move your diagram, Dia will
try to re-fit the diagram to 1x1, which will, of course, put it
back to
the leftmost part of the page.
This would be solved by having an "center diagram in printing page" or
an option of the like, but Dia currently does not.
This is a printing problem.
If you want to *hack* around it, draw a white rectangle using the
blue lines
as sides of the rectangle. Dia will not be able to calculate below
this
page-size shape. Manually put your diagram in the center of the
rectangle.
It is not a solution of course, but a hack and workaround only.

Hi,
I used landscape orientation of the letter size and scale the page to
about 20%.
In Diagram Properties, I turned off Dynamic Grid option.
All is fine.
Thx so much Michael Ross and Octavia Alvarez
