Thanks! The default-width/height enabled me to create realy small shapes like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <shape xmlns="http://www.daa.com.au/~james/dia-shape-ns"; xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";> <default-width>0.3</default-width> <default-height>0.3</default-height> <name>Capacitor</name> <icon>capacitor.png</icon> <aspectratio type="fixed"/> <connections> <point x="0" y="0.15"/> <point x="0.3" y="0.15"/> </connections> <svg:svg> <svg:line x1="0" y1="0.15" x2="0.08" y2="0.15"/> <svg:rect style="fill: inverse" x="0.08" y="0" width="0.05" height="0.3"/> <svg:rect style="fill: inverse" x="0.17" y="0" width="0.05" height="0.3"/> <svg:line x1="0.22" y1="0.15" x2="0.3" y2="0.15"/> </svg:svg> </shape> The only problem I now have is adding a textbox. If I use <textbox x1="-0.1" y1="-0.2" x2="0" y2="0" align="left"/> the tiny shape grows to humongous proportions again, probably due to the large default font size of 22.68 pt. What tiny textbox can I add to the tiny shape to stop it from gowing? >> How can I create a smaller shape?

Well, let's skip this part for now ... Cheers!
