Although I always try to convince people to use LibreOffice or OpenOffice before LB started there is one complaint coming back regularly. That is the missing capabilities of Draw compared to Visio. A first step in that direction would be offering more drawing symbols like a symbol set for BPMN. If someone could give some assistance on how such an additional symbol set could be integrated I would be willing to provide it. The further step would be implementing stencils in Draw templates.

I created some stencil sets for Visio in the past therefore I have some experience in doing so but I have know idea who they could be integrated. They are somehow like template internal galleries but every shape can have attributes like for network mapping a field IP address for every shape representing an active component together with a name, a type and so on. Therefore a dynamic dialog would be necessary to show these attributes and let the user enter the values.

Finally a shape editor would be nice to allow the user for creating his own stencils.

Is there anybody else interested in such an extension and able to aid with the programming part?

Kind regards

Ulrich
