Does dia have a mechanism for moving objects by very small amounts?
Many programs I have used have the ability to use the arrow keys when
you want to move an object by a few pixels. Can dia do something like this?

I'm finding some of the component objects in dia (like the resistor
objects) very annoying to use because the centre of the the object
doesn't snap to grid.
I.e. if you get a resistor and shrink it to be fairly small then it's
the top edge of the resistor that snaps to the grid which is quite

I'm confused (no change there then!) about what the 'Page Break'
markings do for me.
It took me a while to realise that the solid blue lines *were* the Page
Breaks and that I could remove them using the Preferences settings.
That's good as I find them distracting because they sit very close
to so

How do people here show crossing wires on circuit diagrams in dia?
Do you simply use the convention that a pair of wires crossing each
other on the diagram are not connected and junctions shown as a T are
connected?
I prefer to show a little 'loop' where one wire crosses another and have
tried a
urely the page width as shown in dia plus the margins should add up to
the actual page width of the A4 paper. It doesn't! That's all I'm saying.

I'm trying to create a very simple shape comprising two lines linked by
a short arc. The trouble is that when I export to a .shape file the
resulting shape is *much* too big, much bigger than its size on the
diagram that I exported it from.
Is there any way to control the size?

After I export a diagram as a .shape file and then add it into one of
my collections of shapes (using the Sheets and Objects window) then
whenever I open dia I get an warning pop-up box saying:-
Several object-types were named diagrams - xw.
Only first one will be used.

I have some small arc objects on some of my diagrams and they're very
difficult to move as it's nearly impossible not to hit one of the resize
end/mid points. Is there any way one can force a move rather than a
resize?
