Title: How do you draw this?
Post by: wbbb1 on July 16, 2009,

I've seen these wonderful layout drawing (see atachement) and was wondering how in the world I could draw my own layout? Is it some kind of special program or what? Can you one fill me in on the name of the program and how I might get a copy (provided it's legal)?
I can draw it in Autocad but it would take a lot of time to draw each item. Thanks for reading, I'm sure someone know the answer.

MORE MINDS MAKE MORE BRAIN POWER. Thanks, Bill

I'm pretty sure most of those are drawn with Visio, which is now a Microsoft product.  I'm not aware of another program that makes it easy like Visio does.

I drew that with Visio

Ron is correct

It doesn't make sence to buy a $100 program to draw a 15 minute (1 time) drawing. Thanks for the info. I knew someone would have the answer here. Does someone want to sell their original disk (not a copy) for less than $10?

Try OpenOffice.org Draw. Its free and quite comparable.

I like Google Sketchup program for simple drawing.

Google Sketchup (free!) is a great tool that has helped me... bit of a learning curve there, but learning is half the fun!
