Adi Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The time spent faffing around with visio, even for small sites isnt worth it. If it was the other way round, you'd all be calling me a tight ****, i would be better on site earning than wittling away the hours to come up with some half cocked amatuer attempt a fire drawing. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHappy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I kinda like visio & are using it more & more to knock together simple site plans, it where JW which gave me the idea. A few mins to sketch a non scale site sketch & cut & paste shapes of one you've done before, the advantage being you've a simple sketch for men to install from or send to Damien to make a proper scaled autocad drawing if needed Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We use visio for all site plans and wiring diags etc. Dad used to do them by hand on pre printed plan sheets. Either way works well but changing drawings is easy on visio. We use this for our fire plans too. As you can save files to your db filing cabinet it makes sense. As a side note we only have 1 filing cab left of scannning to do. Anyone want to buy some filing cabs? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sparky999 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 What are you all using to produce fire plans? I am trying to find a simple solution. At the minute I just get someone else to do it for me and get it emailed back and print it out on our plotter, but we are doing more and more fire and would rather save time and do it myself. I have looked at a few CAD offerings but would like to find the simplest solution. Gissa job and I`ll do it for free. I use Auto CAD 2011 but just finishing a 3D Auto Cad course at college using 2012 Peter Robinson Freelance M:07889038650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
