Hi Steffen, thanks for your fast reply > Unfortunately my symbols are real pictures which must be turned into shapes. >>Pictures can be tricky. Could you use a tool like autotrace to >>vectorize your pictures? >>If this does not mean anything to you, maybe you could post an example online or >>mail it directly to me in order to see if vectorization could make sense. Ok, well if that is the point - i include my pictures, the created png file and the shape file in on folder at my dia directory. The sizing of my images is no problem this works fine. > 2.

There is no image embedding so far. You could use relative >>path(es), however. Is there a feature request email address for future versions of dia? I also would like to include a signature of username, sourcefilename and date as a footer in my diagram. Like in visio :) Also the embedding images feature would be great for sharing diagram created by dia. > 3. Is there a manual for creating more connection points for my shapes? >>Do you have a basic understanding of >>coordinates, XML and (best) SVG? Sorry no deeper knowledge available :( Regards, Florian
