Seems that a template set by http://www.vitalsparks.com/visio3.html
was going to be fine ... but this template does not unzip when you
download.


Only doing relatively simple ccts .. I could freehand draw them ..
just thought there may be some free templates out there.

Have you got Draftsight or whatever that can handle DXF files?


Only Visio ... but it can import cxf files I think

Worth downloading Draftsight and having a play - it's free, and a proper
2D CAD prog. There are libraries of symbols etc available free too. But
easy to make your own and keep in your library.

I only use it where I must have a PC prog - but it handles the industry
standard DXF files that my CAD prog uses too.

I've no idea how suitable Visio would be for all this - must admit to
never having heard of it. ;-)
