Hello,
I am using the version of dia numbered 0.86 as shipped with Red Hat 7.1 to
generate ER-diagrams for the conceptual design of relational databases.
Conventionally key attributes are underlined in such a model but I cannot
find any underlined fonts. Also, I would like to be able to define

Hello,
I have one last suggestion (this time for the ER-model implementation).
Perhaps when a relationship is attached to an entity on both ends we
should be able to label the lines with the role identifiers. For
example when we have a user selling items to users we could have
two role identifie
Hello,
I would like to be able to use dia to generate a database schema diagram
as documented in Silberschatz et al. and other database textbooks. The
schema diagram is a logical representation of the relational model
which is in turn derived from the conceptual ER-model design. The main

When you mention relationships what comes to mind is the conceptual schema
used to design a database. If this is what you are looking for then just
select ER-model from the drop down menu and choose the diamond to model
relationships. Entities are represented as rectangles which you can also

Hello,
I don't know how to fix this but I am using teTeX with pstricks as ships
with Red Hat 7.1 and find that when I export all labels appear shifted
to the left. Also, the diagram seems to end up having extra white space
on the left which makes it impossible to center the pstricks image.

Could someone please mention how this psfrag utility is used with dia

Hi!
I was just wondering whether dia would offer the possibility
of choosing crow's foot notation. Another thing that the lines
could support is role identifiers. These are essentially labels
which can be attached to lines in the case of relationships
where an entity set participates more than o
Hello,
There are some problems when specifying generalization relationships
among use case diagram actors in dia. Such relationships are described
in The Unified Modeling Language User Guide by Grady Booch, James
Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson. The problem is that the label used
to describe the ro
Hello,
I had an arrow connected to a connection point and was moving it around.
Accidentally the head and tail of the arrow ended up sticking to the very
same connection point which resulted in not being able to remove the
arrow from the connection point so the whole thing had to be deleted.

Hello,
It would be nice if users could click on the Create Line button, add a
line by clicking on the diagram, and then double click on the line and
select an option called "double" from the Line Style drop down menu.
This would enable users to create straight double lines in diagrams
such as E
Hello,
Suppose foo.dia was opened with dia and that the user right clicked
on the diagram and went to File -> Print Diagram...
I think the application would be more user friendly here if the default
postscript filename appearing in the box were to be set to match the name
of the opened file, i
When I install dia as Administrator under Win2K the installation program
asks me whether I want to add dia as a desktop icon and to the start menu.
The question should perhaps also have a checkbox asking whether this
should be done for the current user only or for all users, when
Administrator is
Hello,
It would be nice if the user could choose between straight and bending
arrow style when selecting UML dependencies, realizations, associations,
and aggregations, in the same way as it is done with the
"Create a message" button.
Thanks for dia,

Hello,
Is there a way to render an active class in dia? These look the same as
regular classes with a thicker border and are used to model classes whose
objects consist of several processes or threads.
Thanks,

Where can I get dia 0.90 RC2?

Hello,
The UML class properties window should have yet another tabbed pane called
"Responsibilities" in addition to the "Class", "Attributes", "Operations",
and "Templates" tabbed panes. According to the UML 1.3 specification and

Hello,
I would like to use dia to draw database table instances, that is,
nothing more than two dimensional tables with a title at the top,
a name for each column, followed by the various table rows.
I could not find any such functionality in dia. It would
be nice if this diagramming capability
Hello,
I have just installed dia 0.90. The UML actor code in source file
objects/UML/actor.c was kindly modified by Lars Clausen so that
the connection points are located below the text so that names
appearing above connected inheritance lines do not overlap
with the lines themselves. There is o
Hello,
I decided to submit each feature request in a separate email.
I think the line type selection facility at the bottom of
the dia tools window is a definite improvement. The only
thing it is lacking is a double line style as drawn
below. Such notation is often used in ER diagrams

Hello,
There seem to be several minor interface inconsistencies in dia.
For instance, with flowchart diagrams one can type text directly
into the geometrical objects. On the other hand, with ER diagram
one must double click on the shape to set its text. This kind of
inconsistency could easily be
