Creating new sheets and shapes

[Jean-Jacques Tinguely]

Hello

 

Finally, after many tries, I could create a new sheet with a new shape.

The only problem is that the object I designed and exported as a shape doesn't 
have the same line thicknesses I had defined beforehand.

My exported object is itself composed of several Dia-objects like lines, 
circles, triangle, rectangle for which I defined different line thicknesses.

Before I exported the shape, I grouped all these objects into one.

 

The sheet appeared in the list of sheets and so the shape inside of the list. 
But when I inserted the shape into a new diagram, sum of the elements of my 
object had other line thicknesses than the ones I had defined beforehand.

 

By the way, another problem occurs at program start of Dia:

In the DOS-window appears the following text:

 

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\_Apps\dia\python-startup.py", line 1, in ?

import sys, os

  File "C:\PROGRA~2\_Media\whc\Python\Lib\os.py", line 106

from os.path import (curdir, pardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep,

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 

Further there appears a warning window with following text:

Several object-types were named Cisco - CDDI-FDDI.

Only first one will be used.

Some things might not work as expected.

Thank you for your help

 

Kind regards and a happy new year.

It is really-really beneficial to learn a bit about SVG and manually
proof-read your exported shapes.
Not to mention, the Dia have a tendency of doubling the exported elements.
This may contribute to the line weights as well.

This means that you have duplicate libraries installed. Probably your user
folder contains a copy of the system library.

Sorry to say, but that probably wont help here. The handling of custom line 
width is a bit strange in Dia, but quite some shapes are adpated to that 
behaviour. For details see:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2008-July/msg00084.html

None of the approaches described there was actually implmented.
