You were talking about SVG and DIA isn't SVG and it doesn't support SVG 
in shapes fully (as said by Marcel in the other topic).

But in DIA you can scale most shapes so you might say DIA also supports 
scaling grouped SVG objects - unfortunately that isn't available for 
grouped shape objects within DIA itself.

Just select some objects or grouped objects (with the select tool) and 
stretch them as you wish.
