Describe is also no longer available and for one diagram, I'd prefer not to have to purchase a complete product like BlueCad that it's unlikely I'll need to use again. I'm really looking for something really simple. I'm interested that you suggested PMFax I didn't know it had graphics capabilities, perhaps that what I need.

I'm now happily working away drawing my house floorplan with OOOo v 2.04 Draw application. In the meantime I had searched the web and there are some pretty impressive tools out there that can create 3D drawings including (for example) kitchen cabinets, tables etc. ! (Windoze of course - I was hoping to find something JAVA based). Anyway for what I need they were far too complex. Thanks for the help, Ed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
