dufjax Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Turbocad Autocad..... If you've got money to waste SEE used to do a free electrical version which I'm sure included Fire icons but I've been told they no longer do the free version. Photoshop.... Sounds silly but sometimes it works better than other solutions Edited July 20, 2016 by dufjax typo Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40318-fire-cad/#findComment-448535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ee8mjb Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Visio brilliant for "drag and drop" functionality, but I now use Serif DrawPlus for just about everything, including plans. It reads and writes PDF's which is a real bonus - I either ask for plans in pdf, or use Autodesk or similar (free viewer) to convert cad files to pdf, import into DrawPlus, drop my symbols on top, colour in a set for the zone plan, and output everything as PDF again. Believe it or not my colleague uses Word for plans and swears by it - before you laugh, MS have nicked a lot of Visio functionality and hidden it in Word (2013 onwards) - once you add symbols to the library, turn on the grid and "drawing canvas", it isn;t actually too bad as a basic drawing program. The big advantage is that almost everyone has it already.
