    I downloaded Dia from the Software Centre, all the shapes and objects are there. Try downloading it from USC unless you have a compelling reason not to.

    • Regarding the diashapes.deb package but I would imagine objects would be stored where the main objects and shapes are usr/share/dia. Give that a try.
    • If that doesn't work Dia creates a hidden folder on your Home folder. There is an "Objects" subfolder. To view this navigate to your home folder and select [Ctrl]H to reveal hidden folders and files.
    • To add them Select File >> Sheets and Objects then New.
    • Navigate to your new objects and select them for using.

    Alternatively press F9
