Which software for designing cabinet and CP layout?

rdagger:

I've never used Visio.  I thought it was mainly for flowcharts and orgcharts.  Can you build 3D models for cabinets or is it only good for laying out buttons and controls?

barvaz:

I do have access to Visio so I will give it a try. I am not planning to do any 3D modeling of my cabinet, just the layout for how to cut the MDF boards and the design of the control panel so I assume Visio should be enough.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm in the process of designing my cabinet alos and I'm using Visio 2002. I, uh, borrowed it from my job. Yeah that's it!! ;) Visio has some useful features for designing a cab that make it easy to learn and use. i recommend it! By the way, it seems like a good amount of people use Visio, why doesn't someone have a repository of Visio cabinet plans (and for that matter, all cabinet plans in general??)
