Resources & Links

We're pretty darn good but we can't do it all.  Below are a list of quality resources that provide additional Visio shapes, stencils, templates and add-ons.

VisioCafe
Free network shapes from leading manufacturers.  Their quality is quite similar to what Visimation develops and posts on ShapeSource. Like Visimation, VisioCafe's developers create shape libraries for manufacturers to distribute to their customers from their own web sites as well as from VisioCafe. Most excellent work, eh?
