Alex,
Very good advice on the 40%. I tried that but for my multi-page
diagram, Dia still printed the same 6 pages to pdf with the 40% part at
the upper left of each page. So I tried importing the svg into Inkscape
set to cm, but it then printed the text at 1/16" instead of 1/8"
(Inkscape does not do well with measurements!). So just exporting an
svg and shrinking it will be the way to go, as you say.
What I'm after mostly is nice svg files for the web anyway. Printing
will work itself out :-).
Thanks,
-- Dunn

I am just learning Dia and was about to try my hand at making some
shapes. I notice the shapes I have used in Dia are very large,
the borders are very thick at 0.1cm and the font is also large at
22.68pt (5/16").
As I make my shapes, I would want to make them so they fit 9 pt
font size (1/8" tall), which is what I consider to be the perfect
size (so studies say for us CAD users), and the borders would be
0.5 mm thick instead of 0.1cm. This means I would make much
smaller shapes. Would anyone be able to use those shapes, or want to?
Just scale the page to whatever you want I use around 40% for UML
diagrams and works pretty well but YMMV
Best,
Alex
