Hi,

I saved the UML class shape with a custome name "rtapp-thread" in order to try and customise the shape by adding it to my own sheet. But dia fails to parse back the shape in question.

Google led me to a similar problem[1] but that doesn't fix my issues. Any help is appreciated. Error message reproduced below the signature.

Regards,

Amit

I figured out the problem, I think.

In the <svg:svg> section of the exported shape, this is line 35:

    <svg:text fill: #ffffff="fill: #000000; text-anchor:middle; font-family: sans; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700" x="25.0325" y="13.4" font-size="1" textLength="3.165">Thread</svg:text>

It should be the following instead:

    <svg:text style="fill: #000000; text-anchor:middle; font-family: sans; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700" x="25.0325" y="13.4" font-size="1" textLength="3.165">Thread</svg:text>

This seems like a bug in the export to shape.
