Adding shapes

2002-11-22 Thread Nelson, Chris (IndSys, GEFanuc, Albany)
I'm enjoying using Dia and if I can just add a few shapes for my work, it'll be an invaluable tool but I'm having trouble adding shapes. I'm working with Dia 0.9 on W2k and FIPA's AUML (as described in http://www.fipa.org/specs/fipa00025/). I'd like to add some shapes to the UML palette. My firs

Ctrl-A?

When I run Dia 0.9 on Win2k, the accelerator listed for the View / Snap to grid is "G" which doesn't seem to work. I managed to set it to Ctrl-A ("align", 's' is save and 'g' is group) but I try to toggle snap-to-grid with Ctrl-A, Dia sometimes zooms in on my canvas and sometimes does nothing. Is

At http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/diatut/all/all.html, I read: Right-clicking in [a Dia diagram] gives a diagram-specific menu. But not for me. I'm running 0.9 on Win2k on a Dell Latitude laptop with an external, Microsoft wheel mouse. I've got the mouse buttons swapped (I'm a leftie) b

UML sheet incomplete?

I'm working through Design Patterns Java Workbook (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201743973/christophernelso) and using an old-ish build of Dia 0.9 to do some of the UML problems. I'm no UML expert but looking at the book's appendix that gives a whirlwind tour, I find I can't complete

Dashed lines in 0.91 on 'Windows don't print right

2003-06-30 Thread Nelson, Chris (IndSys, GEFanuc, Albany)
I've just installed Dia 0.91-2 on W2K. I have a UML diagram with a number of dashed lines (dependencies and implementations) that all print solid. Is this a known problem? Is there a work around? I tried searching the list archives and didn't find anything. Ch
