I'm not sure if it is still the case but it used to be that the Dia
importer was very strict and it can be very difficult to generate
compatible documents.  If you cannot generate documents Dia understands it
might be worthwhile looking at the Dia code and seeing if you can try to
help improve the importer.

Good luck with your project.
