Re: modifying text in text object

2013-07-31 Thread hugo borrell
Hello,

I'm currently discovering Dia with great pleasure but would fancy modifying
text in text objects : once created, it seems that it is not possible to
change the text and I have to erase the whole object and create an new one.
This is frustrating indeed, is there something I missed ?

Thanks,

Hugo

insert a pdf map layer

2013-09-24 Thread hugo borrell
Hello,

I'm drawing a plumbing diagram with dia. I wish I could insert a map pdf as
a layer to see where pipes are crossing walls, etc.

Is that possible ? How ?

Thanks,

Hugo

Re: insert a pdf map layer

2013-09-24 Thread hugo borrell
Thanks Michael, that could be an option, though I was expecting a more
specific fonctionnality (like "use pdf as background" or something).

I will try that though, if none other is available.

Cheers,

Hugo
