If you are using the UML objects for your database tables, setting the
"class scope" tick on the attributes will make them underlines -- I
don't know if AutoDia will call those primary keys, though.  I hope an
update to 0.96.1 comes through for you soon, it's a big step especially
in terms of text width stability.

Rotation is not something that Dia can do at the moment, there's just
too much underlying infrastructure needed for that.  Sorry.

No problem.
