To whom it may concern Attached below is my previous message and here is some more feedback to make Dia a better tool. It would be very handy to have the symbols (particularly in UML, eg class boxes etc) resizable rather than just on autosize. Once again if there is a means of doing this already I apologise.

Dia was brought to my attention after some looking around the net for a suitable tool to create the graph drawings and I have so far found it simple and easy to use, however I have a few suggestions to make to improve it. My main concern is for the UML association, inheritance and other joining lines to have a diagonal capability, if they already do and I haven't found how to use it then my apologies. Though you are able to draw in plain diagonal lines and attach arrow-heads and add text for the name and multiplicity etc, it makes life difficult when you start moving things around the page because the all the other relevant info must be moved separately and this process becomes error-prone. The other suggestion I have is to make the joiner lines (eg association, inheritance) attachable to anywhere along the class/object (etc..) symbol's edge. These things would make it a little more robust and simple, and I must congratulate you on the ease with which it can be used already. Thanks Linda Colpoys
