DIAW.exe question



Hi 
I am an experienced VISIO and new DIA user.
I am quite impressed with your DIA software - fine work!

After using Diaw.exe for a few weeks I have 2 questions on v0.97.2:

[1] I am trying to COPY some objects from layer 1 to a new layer 2 that I have NOT grouped beforehand.
SOMETIMES it pastes the objects to the left, other times it properly positions the objects on 2 so they perfectly overlay the position on layer 1.  What determines the paste positioning?

I suspect on the LAYERS sidebar has something to do with this, however I have not found the explanation for that symbol on any of the HELP documentation.

[2] When I paste a selection of objects that were copied using SHIFT-CLICK, I would like to MOVE that bunch using the arrow keys.  They paste-in as a selected bunch but don't respond to the arrow keys.   If I GROUP those items first, then this works fine - I'm just wondering if there is a way to do this without grouping them first?

Hey - thanks guys and gals for the DIAW.exe application.
Saved me [a retired systems guy] from buying Visio.
