Thanks, this definitely helps. Since what I was looking for seems not to exist in Dia, I'll use this. I guess the ideal solution would if this could automatically happen when moving objects, so objects snapping to each other. That would snap an object when its center is on the same line(parall

I only recall one program that figures out all the reasonable locations for snapping and that is LabVIEW and only with text. They have an algorithm that decides about nine positions for text block snapping around an icon. You can do that with something as regular as a text block. On the other ha

I am curious, what is "enable layer linking?" An entity can be part of only one layer AFAIK. I can move the layers up an down the layer stack, the higher layers obscure the lower. I can only work on the items that are in the layer currently enabled/highlighted/turned-on. This is pretty simple.
