Visio works good.  I used it to convert over a bunch of Cisco icons. You 
can do whatever you want and then "save as" in  .emf  format.  The only 
catch is that if the artwork is not square then WhatsUp will distort the 
aspect ratio to make it square, which won't look too good in most  cases. 
But it's real easy to get around this by just enclosing everything inside 
an invisible square box before you save it. I'm attaching the Cisco icons 
for whoever might like them. And Cisco has the full original set on their 
web site too.

If you don't have Visio, there is a free program called EVE 
<http://www.goosee.com/index.shtml> that might work, and if you're looking 
for just a plain viewer, try here: 
<http://www.siliconwold.com/emfview/index.htm?sl>  Anything that can work 
with .emf files should be good.

Hope that helps,

        Subject:        [WhatsUp Forum] Creating Custom Icons


Anyone written or know about a good tool for creating icons for WUG?  I 
have found the vector editing tool severely lacking.  Anyone had any luck 
maybe using Fireworks or PS?
 
Thanks!
