Re: Save custom shapes

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

As a fall back you can group the rectangles and place them in a repository Dia.  Then you can copy and paste the grouped shapes between Dia just as you can within a Dia.

Of course you miss out on having them neatly organized in a sheet/palette as you would have by converting them to shapes and making sheets

I need to draw very simple schematics for 5^th grade kids in an extracurricular Electronics class. Powerpoint isn’t cutting it, so I stumbled on your software while searching the internet. It seems like it will do everything I want, but I need to save some custom shapes like a battery (simply 2 rectangles), light bulb, etc. baut cant seem to figure it out. Can this be done? Any info you can give would be appreciated.
