\"Tripp<\/a>The best way to extend the value of any asset is to use it and re-use if for multiple purposes.\u00a0 This goes for Visio shapes just as well as any other type of content such as images, text articles, etc.<\/p>\n

We produce Visio shapes for Tripp-Lite, a leading manufacturer of products that power, connect and protect computers and other electronics.\u00a0 While Visio is a 2-dimensional drawing program, it is possible to create shapes that simulate 3D such as isometric views.\u00a0 We covered this in a previous article, Simulating 3D with isometric Visio shapes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Visio equipmen shapes are primarily used for technical drawings used in sales proposals, designs, and installation drawings.\u00a0 However, Tripp-Lite has produced an Integrated Solutions Brochure<\/a> that uses photos, 3D models, and the Visio isometric shapes to illustrate and clarify how its products fit together in a data center.\u00a0 This is a perfect example of how a company can get additional value from its investment in Visio graphics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are skeptical about Visio\u2019s illustration capabilities, these images clearly show that you don\u2019t need complex and expensive high end imaging software to produce technical illustrations.\u00a0 Furthermore, it\u2019s much easier in Visio to create the lines and text in the above diagram than it is with programs like Adobe Illustrator.\u00a0 Sure, you can do a lot more with Illustrator but Visio requires much less training.<\/p>\n

Tripp-Lite\u2019s current stock of Visio stencils includes shapes with high quality photo accurate graphics for most of its main product lines:<\/p>\n
