Can someone school me on Visio?For starters, is there a free trial version and where can I get a zip of all the symbols?Thanks

I got my 2007 edition MS-Visio program for $35.00. Probably got taken to the cleaners but I don't have to be concerned with trial periods, etc. Also use sluckey's shapes which are hugely helpful. Much better now making drawings versus old hen scratch scanned into a pdf format that is hard to read. Also, you can make your layouts actual size which makes it easy to make your own boards if you like to deviate from standard layouts.


Thanks
