Thanks Lars for your guidelines. Introducing new properties is a bit to
complicated for me. But I could change de constants defining line widths in
SADT's box.c and arrow.c code. The result is quite acceptable for the kind
of diagram I need to draw. By the way, thin constant line width is more or
less a "standard" in IDEF0 design tools (which combine drawing to
inheritance and consistency check). 

So, it works for me. But I'm sorry I'm not good enough in programming to
contribute more to Dia.

I plan to use Dia as a publishing tool (or even format) to document free
software. It's a great help because there's no free IDEF0 designer (neither
code nor output format).
