I used Visio to draw the diagrams for my fleet. One the one hand, 
it's easy to use. Drawing and editing the ship control graphics 
doesn't much time at all. 

On the other hand, the graphics that it outputs aren't of the 
highest quality. Here's an example of a large ship control graphic:

That's a gif image, and although it's not difficult to identify 
the ship components, they're fuzzier than I'd like. I'd probably 
use something different if these weren't just for my own use. 

I'm not a Visio expert, so maybe I'm not saving it in the best 
possible way, but I haven't found any obvious problems, either. 
I import Visio graphics to FrameMaker all the time and those 
look just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. If anyone 
knows the answer, I'd appreciate some pointers.
