Greetings, Evan William Kilbourne!
I recently started using the DIA freeware to makes a flowchart for the
organization that I work for. My question is, is there an easy way to fit
all the boxes onto one printable area?
You know, programs don't (generally?) possess a gift of sentience.
They can't know, what exactly you mean by "fit all boxes onto area".
Do you want them scaled down, or just moved? And that's only one of many
possible questions.
I have already made the flowchart, and I don't necessarily want to go
through again and redo the whole thing.
You know you can rearrange blocks and they will keep connections?>.<
Please let me know if this is possible.
It really depends on the exact result you want to achieve, but one thing might
help you: Dia could show you the page grid. All objects that fit inside one
page cell, will be printed on one page.
(Honestly, page grid is displayed by default, how did you missed it?)
Also please let me know if there is a way to standardize the sizes of the
boxes and text.
Double-click the shape on palette.

Hello!
I'd like to know if there is the ability to change the size of the
relation-object in ER-mode?
Currently the size is defined by the containing text. It would be nice
if I could change the size manually like it is possible with other objects.

Hi,
I'd like them all to be scaled down to fit into one page grid. The page grids are
outlined in the solid blue, and I don't know how to quickly and efficiently scale every
box, text, and line down by the same amount in order to fit it into the area. Rearranging
the blocks does not necessarily keep the connections. There are lines connected to other
lines that haven't "snapped" (excuse my lack of technical language, I'm no
computer whiz) to the X connection points. This was done for aesthetic purposes. While I
appreciate your help, or rather your prompt for further clarification, please do
understand I'm neither a programmer, coder, nor computer whiz.

Hi
This program has potential; I presently use Visio and DrawPlus X5.
I have a question, when drawing lines is it possible to have line hops on
intersecting lines as in Visio and how can I get rid of the arrow when
drawing lines, use a plain line as default. It would also be nice when
drawing lines in technical diagrams to be able to keep the line tool active
to draw one line after another instead of having to type "L" each time you
want to add a connecting line.
I also find setting the colors confusing using code to select color.
Regards
John

Go into page setup and select "Fit to" with 1 x 1.
