Hello you builder(s) of DIA, First thank you for your job because I use more and more this beautiful sofware at home and at work. Second time , before knowing dia, i have used Ms Visio, for doing all my diagrams for theater networks (audio, light, video, informatic network). Now i use Dia because it's easier for my customers and my partners to use an opensource sofware running on different OS without differences between each OS. Third perhaps can you help me to solve the only one problem i have with Dia : I have differents blocks and i want to make several links between two blocks. I have no problem for the first one (red one) but when i want to make the second link (blue one) it take the same place of the first link and i see only the blue one. Is it possible doing the same thing that i have done with Ms Visio : having space between several links ?
You can do it in various ways, depending on what blocks and links you use. If you use arcs, you can just move the midpoint of the arc a bit away. If you use polylines, you can add more corners, likewise with zigzaglines or beziers. If your blocks have more connection points, you can connect between specific connection points rather than just from block to block. But Dia does not have a "space between connections" functionality as such. I'm attaching a diagram with examples of this. I'd probably suggest using arcs or polylines for it, it seems to be the easiest to handle that way. -Lars
