It is possible to set the size of an object directly? I.e. can I
specify that a rectangle is, say, 4.5 x 6.0 cm? It can be difficult
setting an exact size with the mouse.
When you resize objects, the status bar will tell you the dimensions of
your objects - are you aware of this feature?
Setting the correct grid size and "Snap to Grid" will help you to size
your objects quickly and precisely.
See the Dia manual:
http://dia-installer.de/doc/en/canvas-chapter.html#gridlines
For the example you've mentioned, I would switch off the dynamic grid
and choose 0.5 for the grid spacing.
Does this information solve your problem?
Regards,
Steffen
