I use Open Office Draw (on Linux and Windoze) for the simple stuff and an ancient copy of Visio 2000 Pro for the messy stuff where I have to use customers Visio stencils. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl(a)cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

In the same link that was conveyed by you, i found a list of top 10 Commercial and top 10 Open Source alternatives/equivalents to Visio. It seems that 'Dia' has been designed very much like commercial Visio in Open Source category and has been rated '1'. Anyhow, i will check both . Karthik Balaguru

So, In brief - If it is complex, Dia is good. If it is simple, we can go in for the Draw component of OpenOffice. But, do both of the above tools allow import of vsd file format(visio) so that i can use it for editing visio files. Any ideas ? Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru |
