We need to use more graphics in our manuals. The problem is that the
technical artist already has too much work and there's no budget to get
another. We need line drawings of hardware equipment to show how to assemble
the parts. Myself and my colleague are used to modifying existing graphics
(illustrator and coreldraw) but not drawing from scratch.

What about doing a freehand sketch, then scanning it into the computer? That's usually a much more efficient way than trying to work entirely on the computer.

If I knew who the enemy was, I'd shoot the bastard - dead."
