I've used Inkscape for a few things and it's growing on me. It's just a vector graphic editor, but I think it's decent for technical diagrams. There are a lot of free/open vector graphics on the web which you can build with (e.g. openclipart.org). It's not a diagram, but I used Inkscape and openclipart.org to create the RAC Attack logo. -Jeremy -- http://www.ardentperf.com +1 312-725-9249 Jeremy Schneider Chicago On 11/25/2011 08:07 AM, Martin Bach wrote: > Hello all, > > just wondering how others did technical illustrations?
