Hi
I'm trying to document my non-trivial live-setup, and would like to traw
some flow charts of audio and midi routing. I tried dia, but it seems to
insist that one "box" can only have one "input" and one
"output" (I'm
using the symbols from "flowchart".
Is there a way to do this in dia, or is there something better/different
that I should look at?
I imagine something like this:

If it's a relatively small drawing I'd use Inkscape rather than a
dedicated CAD package. I use it for lots of medium complexity circuit
drawings.
Once you've designed the objects, copy/repeat is a doddle and you can
just 'wire' them as you like in whatever grid size you want.
For example:

SVG file so poor IE users won't be able to see it {snigger}

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I did this for original setup. You can see the results here:

I used Dia Diagram Editor.

This may not be better, but it's simple and has a nice API:

Hi Atte,
I also could never find a way to add new connection points in Dia. One way
to get around this is to make composite objects consisting of a box for the
actual object, and a small directional triangle for each input or output.
The triangles then provide a connection point at the apex. You can build all
of your studio objects in a master diagram, and then just copy and paste for
each new studio diagram you wish to make. It takes a while getting it setup,
but if you really want to work in Dia then it can be done this way. You can
see what I mean here: http://i.imgur.com/N3meQ.png.
As David said, openoffice.org draw can also be used to make fairly
sophisticated diagrams. It also lets you add additional connectors by using
the gluepoints tool, so it may be faster.
