Hello,

I made my own shape that works fine. The shape is '10' wide, but
10-what? When I put a shape on the canvas it is about 2.5 screen units,
but the A4 seems about 15 wide.

For normal use I would like to see the shape/image larger; now I always
resize the shape to make them fit arrowheads and texts. I tried
increasing the size in the shape file to 30 but this seemed to have no
effect.

How do I set the default size of a shape?

Now I'm on the topic: how do I set all defaults: e.g. linewidth,
arrowheads, font, fontsize, png export-resolution?

Thanks,
Frits

Alternatively, I would guess that it could be dynamic grid setting affecting
the actual size of newly placed elements.
Can someone please check this?

Thanks for the references. The answer was
5cm

There is however a problem. When I do this on windows with dia 0.97.2,
this works as expected.

On my Debian Linux with Dia 0.97.1, the shape is 100x too large...
might it have something to do with the interpretation of centi?

I would suggest that you upgrade your Debian Dia to 0.97.2.
We cannot fix problems in historic Dia versions.
