Hi myriam, I have used dia for illustrations and I found that the best way to use them in LyX/Latex is the following way: Dia -> xfig -> pdf/latex. A shell script for this conversion is attached. It produces two files: .pdf and .tex. To include your drawing in the document go for Insert>Include File... and enter the name of the .tex file in the dialog that comes up.
In this way, you can use latex commands in Dia. These will be interpreted by latex when compiling the main document. The result looks much better. However, the process is a bit tricky, with many things that can go wrong. Let me know if it works for you.
