Anybody use Visio? I am working on some stencils for DB layouts if anyone is interested.

I use Visio but mostly for schematics and concept drawings for customers. It's lack of 3D support makes it a bit limited. If you need any pre-drawn shapes for general components such as contactors, timers, PLC's etc give me a shout.

If you have these, it would save me some time, no point in reinventing the wheel!! Can you PM them or do you need an email addy??

Probably best to pm me with your gmail address. I'm not sure what kinda strain i'm allowed to put on the pm system. Also give me a list of what components you're looking for and if you want the circuit symbols or a picture of them. I'll send you what I have and if you're really stuck I can custom make a few when I have the time.

It was spilt beer that drove me to Visio in the first place

This is the kind of basic cct dwg we do, I can mail you the full drawing in Visio format and you can just save the different components into your shapes template after any editing you want to do.
