[Sigia-l] Re: visio feature improvements

I originally started the thread "visio feature improvements" to gather 
ideas about what Visio improvements IA's would like to see.

Evidently, some of you are using visio, some are not, and some will not. 
I've seen many comments akin to:

I agree, and I'm interested in improving the current situation because:
1. I am "forced" to use visio in my professional life due to corporate 
standards.
2. I am currently working on coding custom vb extensions that will make 
visio work better for IA's.

The original thread has shifted to an often interesting discussion of 
tools, religion, and language. That is great. If anyone has suggestions 
for things they might like to see visio do for them that it does not 
currently do, let me know. The more feedback I have, the more likely I'll 
be able to help visio do the things you want it to do, as well.
