Inkscape is a good tool for me,

I didn't mean to imply that Inkscape is somehow inferior, but that it's overflowing with so many features with a UI that might not be intuitive for first time users, like me Smile At least it's not as bad as Emacs Tongue ( Yes, I'm a VI / VIM fanboy Tongue )

Quote: but I was a Corel Draw user for many years. The interface for Inkscape was lifted directly from Corel Draw.

That's interesting. I guess the interface has redeeming value as it looks like a mess to me Smile I suppose when you get used to it the interface starts to demonstrate its upsides.

Quote:My work also provides me with licensing for Microsoft Visio, which is very well suited to this type of diagramming.

I have a Windows machine, but I suppose that Visio costs many $$$ . In my experience with design software, in many areas including EE and CAD / CAM, the software is usually quite expensive costing upwards of $2.5K to $4K. Does Visio cost that much?
