Olhaí, Juliano: deixa de ser palhaço. Lixo deve ser a sua capacidade de usar um sistema operacional sério. Alguém que pensa que nada grátis presta só pode mesmo ser um palhaço.

Dia is not bad (can't beat the price) but that fact also means that it's not developed very quickly and leaves a lot to be desired. There are better options out there with emerging web apps like LucidChart or Cacoo.

I spent 2 days to make nice diagram as saving in Document using Dia.
I saved file but not changed name, therefore it remained as Diagram1.dia
However, once I closed and opened file (from GUI) ‘Diagram1.dia’ it only shows me blank new file.
I checked the property of file and the last modified time was the one I saved for the las time.
I opened Dia first and clicked from file->open….still opens blank file.

Where can I find it? Did I loose it?? I can’t loose !!!

You should could use packet Tracer for linux to diagram networks orCartoreso to automatic generated a network maps

Thanks for this simple starter. On the Visio file format: I believe it's proprietary (ie secret) and not going to be opened up by Microsoft. I've never understood this : surely their position is strengthened by interoperability? I doubt very much they care much about the existence of Dia, other commercial draughtsman tools will be their concern.
There is an Apache Java project trying to implement Visio file read/write: http://poi.apache.org/hdgf/index.html
Cheers, al.

It's not a Visio.

I can't open .vsd files. There does not appear to be this file extension in the File open list. Any ideas?

The problem, ist that in business there are people who use viso.
To be interoperable one mast be able to save into vsd and read from vsd.

openoffice can replace excel, word, powerpoint,
But there is no visio replacement that can read and export the fileformat of visio !!!

Has to be fixed asap!

Interestingly enough, it does actually compete. One of my uni projects switched to Dia after having a hard time manipulating Visio.
