I'm not sure Fritzing is customer friendly (ie: someone that does not=20 know electronics, but know how to wire up devices in vehicles). The=20 biggest thing is that I'm looking for is simplicity like Visio, but with=20 the ability to add several wires (attach points) to a=20 device/block/element. Most seem to have only 8 attach points at the 4=20 corners and 4 edges. The disadvantage with regular drawing programs such as inkscape etc is=20 that when objects are moved around, then the wires don't follow. All=20 attached wires will need to be re-routed. For me, I can do this, but=20 I'm trying to convince my customer to document with this tool to make my=20 life easier, and he won't unless it's relatively easy. Cheers, -Neil.
