The dragonflyalley images were invaluable when it came time to prototype my beast. Not having access to the nifty Windows application that lets you drag-and-drop modules into a grid, I made a mockup in Photoshop that let me do something similar. I dropped in all the module images I needed as layers and then dragged them into different configs until I found one that worked for me. In the few cases where a module image wasn't available I just cut-and pasted elements from the ones that did exist into a new image and tweaked the text.
Having a way to think through my layout without screwing and unscrewing everything dozens of time was a real nice convenience.
Also, printing the file as a PDF gives me patch sheets I can mark up to document patches, but I haven't had to do that yet.
So thanks!

These diagrams are not - well - like FPD things, but they're accurate within the tolerances of PowerPoint to be accurate - which is good for a diagram, but not like ACAD.
