good flowchart software to use with Frame

[Gillian Flato]

Although FrameMaker drawing tools are primitive, keep in mind that if
your documents are ever going to be translated, the Translator will need
to access the Flow chart labels and translate them too. If the flow
chart is done all in Frame, it's easier for the Translator. If it's in
Visio, the Translator has to have a copy of Visio, translate the flow
chart, create the .png and reimport it. They will charge you extra money
for that.

Just something to keep in mind.

I switched from using Illustrator for callouts to using Frame, for that
specific reason.


Thank you,

FrameMaker ships with a set of flowchart primitives. They are poorly
drawn and pretty much crap. I re-drew them many years ago. Some people
on the list have tried them out. If anyone found them useful, maybe they
will comment. If you're interested I'll try to find them. I've not used
them in quite some time.

SmartDraw, but when I import the SmartDraw file, it's not very clear and
it does not resize well. Anyone have any suggestions??
