TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
At my new job (been here almost 4 weeks!) we have a number of
documents with 8 1/2 x 14 pages in them that contain rather large
functional diagrams. These are (mostly) old documents which have not
been kept electronically. Since we are in the process of putting all
our documents on CD-ROM, we are scanning in the old documents, and
these large diagrams are (naturally) not showing up too well.
We want to re-draw them using a flowcharting/diagramming package. I
have done some looking around on the Web, and it looks like Visio
Technical is the way to go.
Questions:
* Has anyone used Visio Technical? Comments?
* Does anyone have aqnother package to recommend that will do the same
thing?
* Anyone have any comments on the ease of importing such diagrams into
Interleaf?
Please respond privately--if there is any interest, I will post to the
list.
TIA,
Nora
