I like the program! Just wanted to let you know the 'example' button doesnt seem to work yet? And I can't change names yet of the content boxes, right? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Posted from the new ixda.org http://www.ixda.org/discuss?post=27037

Chad, You are right, and there is hardly anything to return. You can do this and much more than this. However I find their editor overly complicated when you need to do something simple, like drawing a wireframe. I admit that if I spent more time to learn to use it, I would do better with

Thanks John, Yes, there are guides in Visio and not only you can align objects to them but also glue to them, i.e. the objects will move in case if the guide is moved. I wasn't however able to glue both left and right (or top and bottom) sides of an object to two guides, so that the object would

You can do this with MS Expression Blend. You can lay out the widgets (rectangles) inside a grid and resize them at will. From there, you can actually build out the design for use by developers (XAML). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Posted from the new
