Re: How do you do basic layouts/designs

It is pretty easy to create objects (motors, bearings, wheels) and scoot them all around to see where things fit.
I do wish they had included the professional version with all the engineering, software design and electrical templates. Still, you can create your own templates, which I've found useful over the years.
Maybe I should take some lessons from you. Here at work they scrapped Correl Draw and gave us Visio with no warning and no training. ( "Here's your new upgraded computer sir. All loaded with the latest standard software package. No sir, I'm afraid you'll have to learn this new stuff" ) As far as I'm concerned it MIGHT be good for flow charts and org charts, but since I never do those it's useless to me. I still can't figure out how to do an irregular polygon ...

I must be missing something that's supposed to be obvious, but isn't.
