    From everything that I have seen and heard, CC3 really is the best program for mapping available.

    The reason why I actually tried using Dia, was after reading the thread "Musings, Collusion Kills and Excel Maps" and I wondered if there was another program other than CC3 or Autoream to make a simple battlemaps, that's when I tried Dia, and was surprised at how easy it was.

    Clever little link. Reminded me of the time I was sent a full set of network diagrams, drawn in Excel using cell borders to make the lines!

    You know, I remember when a secretary on the place I used to work at, asked if we could place her website on the server. It was all done in Excel. But I bet, the network diagrams would beat her website any day of the week

    I can't knock it as a quick-fix proceedure - I've used the same trick myself before now to rough-out relay room floor plans and cubicle organisations where relative positions were more important than scale .
