Re: It is possible to change shape type without deleting and recreating it?



Greetings, Steffen Macke!

I could do it by hands inside the Dia document source (XML, after all, is very
flexible format...), but I'd like to have a more straightforward solution.
Something like this might be possible with the help of a Python plugin.
But "the devil is in the details".
Could you provide two "before and after" diagrams?

Sure. I cut a part of it for an illustration. (Original is like 100 times
bigger)

Tricky questions might be:

* How do you select the placeholder shapes?

The default shape, that is most common.

* How do you select the replacement shapes?

Well, when you know if it's different from common... :)

* Do the connectors match (somehow)?

They are the same for all shapes in group. (The center point)

P.S.
Anyone know a fast and reliable SVG viewer for Windows? Pref. with text
search. 
I'm running short of ideas for search query :/
