what are "ideas" and "blocks"?

I know it isn't free, but does Visio suits your purpose? Or even MS Word can be used to draw blocks and arrows, if that is what you want.

Design GUI with flow Charts and other visual drawings but not M$ Word.
Something like freeware version of Edraw Max

Thanks

Here's a free one I have used before. Covers a large set of the visio like features.

Dia yeah. Its opensource and i use it for UML - class diagrams, networks etc
opensource but not as good as visio in my view.

[dickersonka]

I agree, def not as good visio, but for free, definitely can't complain.

I have it in my Ubuntu and will give it try!
Free is worth for learning and simple production, but when it comes to commercial heavy project is when you look for $ related tools; because you will earn $$ by gigving that $

Thanks guys
