Are you asking, stating or complaining? Please check out http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before posting to a public list in an Open Source project. First of all you must state your question with some context as to what you are trying to accomplish and which set of symbols you are using. >From your 'flowchart' question I am assuming you are using the flowchart symbol sheet instead of say a UML Activity Diagram (which is also a type of flowchart only smarter). Dia does a lot more than simple flowcharting. It's a Diagraming tool that happen to have a flowchart symbol sheet as well as many others such as UML, SDL, SADT, IDEF0, Logic, Network, etc. and also the capability to make your own sheets. The flowchart symbol sheet does not include any specific connector lines (unlike the UML sheet which provides specific connectors) so it assumes you will be using one of the lines in the primitives which are (a) Line and (b) Zigzag Line. Maybe the reason the author of the flowchart symbol sheet did not include a line with labels is that usually in flowcharts, only the decision rhombus require a label mainly for Yes, No, decision points. You can place these near the decision point or on the line itself. So just take a Text object and place it wherever you need. If you are using the simple line primitive you can also connect the text to the line and add more connection points to the line as well. Leave some blank spaces at the beginning of text label so it separates it from the line. You can't connect text to Zigzag lines AFAIK.
