Hello everyone,
Like Cary, I have the same constraints of what is supported and works well on
the Mac. A viable option (replacement for Visio) on the Mac is a tool called
OmniGraffle. The Professional edition allows you to import Visio diagrams and
edit them as needed. The tool is very intuitive and has worked really well for
me. Although it may not have the depth in the "visual widget" library, it is
something that I have come to like and use very much.

Cheers,
Gaja

I've used just about everything including Powerpoint and Keynote, Visio,
Google SketchUp, and Concept Draw Pro.
I have used Visio for more drawings than any other tool, over many years.
The only reason I stopped using it is that I've stopped using Microsoft
Windows. I tried to replace Visio with Concept Draw Pro (since Visio is not
available for the Mac), but I grew too frustrated with Concept Draw Pro's
limitations and idiosyncrasies (like its nagging upgrade center) to mess
with it anymore.
By far my favorite is Adobe Illustrator, but Ai is expensive and the
learning curve really is difficult. But you can do anythingâ??and I mean *
anythingâ??*with it, in any resolution you want.
