[SBE] Visio for broadcast equipment?

[Jeremy Morris]

The best for broadcast is VidCAD.  You can step down to WireCAD.  Both are
not cheap.  Most other programs (AutoCAD, DoubleCAD, Visio, StarDraw, etc.)
you have to create your own blocks or get them from someone else (other
designer, some manufacturers, etc.).
