Hi there,
I have recently discovered Dia as a tool to create recipe diagrams as per the
design by Sascha Wahlbrink ( www.saschawahlbrink.de/index.php/ein_kochbuch.html
)
In order to make the creation of these recipes easier, I wanted to create a
number of custom shapes and add them to a new Dia sheet. I have been able to
create a shape and export it. I have also created a new sheet. However, I am
stuck now in trying to add the shape to the sheet so that it shows up in the
object selector. There seem to be two problems:
- I am not able to add the shape using the built-in dialog, because the .dia
directory is hidden on the Mac and is not showing up in the selection dialog.
- Adding the shape manually by editing the sheet XML doesn't seem to work,
because there is not pointer to the shape file ( I have posted my sheet XML
below).
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Martin
