I want to produce a flow chart to illustrate a proposal for SDMB; can someone recommend me a good way of doing one? On a PC.
Microsoft Visio.
Sorry, to be clear, I’d like to do it now and not buy some software I’ll only use once.
Simplicity will be a virtue here, rather than features, as well
Microsoft Word in drawing mode
google docs drawings: Create, insert & edit drawings - Computer - Google Docs Editors Help
(free)
Try Dia (open source, and thus free).
Inkscape (also open source) can pull it off, too, although it doesn’t specialize in it. Just thought I’d mention it since you don’t want a single use software.
Or try a free online service like LovelyCharts.
Just a note – flowcharts are no longer used much for computer systems logic. They have not proved to be a very good documentation tool.
So are you sure flowcharts are the best tool to explain your process?
