If, at a future date, there is a need to limit this, we could maybe add a locking mechanism to the "templates" -- anyway, just an idea. > Another thing missing is some sample/use of this plug-in in Dia's standard > distribution.

I wrote both plugins (custom lines *and* non-uniform scaling) to accomodate the company's need for them. I will inquire wether it would be legally possible to submit the created shapes/sheets to Dia's standard distribution (they're relatively generic, so I think there will be plenty of use of them). > > Thanks, > Hans Thank you too. cheers, Marcel
