Re: News version of DIA



Old versions of Visio (e.g. the Windows 3.1 version, before MS bought
Visio) used to have the ability to treat groups as if they were inner
documents: you could double click (?) to open the group in a zoomed
pane, popping up over the main document, and then edit everything
inside the group freely.  This would be a good feature for Dia.  If
you are building your own language of shapes for some kind of custom
diagram you need to be able to drag each of the composed shapes as a
whole, but also still edit some details inside (especially the text).

if two shapes could connect and stick,

You can group a group - nesting.  So you can always group the text at the topmost level for easy access if 
you need to access it.

This way you have complete control over where in the group the text appears.  Otherwise, how would a 
developer decide where you want the test to be without activating the mind meld function?

       Hello!

       What about grouping objects?
           Objects --> Group / Ungroup

       Maybe it helps your pourpose.

               Dia is great!!!!!!!

               I use it for diagramming constraint theory and its thinking process.
               It misses one key function: the ability to connect shapes themselves
               without using connectors so they stick at connection points.
               Once can sort of get around this by grouping but that's cumbersome.
