Re: Dia

There is clipboard function for the entities within dia.  I copy and paste groups all the time.

In windows you can always use Ctrl-Print screen and edit the bitmap in some other program.  I regularly make screen dumps for exporting.  Seems like I used to export as jpeg and ramp up the dpi to get good resolution  - that might be wrong though. I use and misuse all sorts of open source software.
