| 221898 | 2004-03-12 22:37:00 | I've got a fairly basic set of symbols that came with autosketch that I have converted to metafiles and put into a word document. You are welcome to those if I can get the doc to you. It is easy enough to create your own in word using MS draw, the drawing package that comes with word, and probably publisher. Personally, I find it a real bugger of a thing to use, but it is "free" and once you've created the picture you can copy it to a real grahics program to save as a drawing file. | andy (473) | ||
| 221899 | 2004-03-12 22:41:00 | There is a trial of Smart Draw http://www.smartdraw.com/ that might be able to do what you're wanting. Not sure if it comes with the required symbols in the trial or not though. | -=JM=- (16) | ||

| 221901 | 2004-03-12 22:44:00 | Also of course there are evaluation copies of MS Visio software available as well. www.microsoft.com |

| 221905 | 2004-03-13 03:14:00 | I didn't even know I had it... your comment just made me look further. What a cool programme it is too. So thanks! | Greg S (201) | ||

What makes it worse is that on Friday night I spent an hour helping one of my kids do homework research using nothing but Google images. Talk about brain-fade :_| Thanks all, this is only an occasional need for me, so I'll work through the suggestions and see which will suit best. Personally I find drawing them myself to be slow and not very satisfying process. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
