Visio software diagram?

[patelc75]

Does someone have a good Visio template to document software
architecture? I need a good intituitive drawing that will include both
the tasks (proecesses and threads) and data structures. Any ideas or
suggestions of other tools that can do this well?

Thanks,
Chirag

You might find SDL/MSC suitable for your needs:

IMHO, UML is a dumbed down version of SDL.
SDL can document all your processes from high level down to the
smallest detail and MSCs (message sequence charts) can be used to show
their interaction graphically (better than UML sequence diagrams).
Sandrila can do the UML stuff, too, as well as TTCN and User
Requirements Notation.
