Each time I've needed to do a diagram (or even draw templates for CD-R inlays, I've always found myself firing up Arcem and running Acorn RISC OS 3's !Draw.

Looking at this article I now have some native options to look for, but until now I've yet to find something that comes close to !Draw. Not that I want to abandon Arcem as there are still things I use it for that I can't do anywhere else (aside from VirtualAcorn in WinXP or a real Acorn RiscOS box).

(Aside: you may be wondering why the ! ... Risc OS folks will tell you that a ! precedes an application - which is really just a directory with at least a few specific entries in it, and often many more. They rarely need installing as they are self-contained units, which you just double-click on...)
