Drawing Mechanisms & Dynamics Diagrams - Need Help!

AI Thread Summary
To create mechanisms and dynamics diagrams, users can utilize software like Visio, although it lacks a dedicated Mechanics toolbar. Alternatives include Asymptote, which is recommended for its capabilities in technical drawing, and Inkscape, favored for its vector graphics features that enable precise alignment and connection of shapes. While Inkscape requires manual drawing, it offers greater creative freedom and produces high-quality results.

Hello,
I want to draw mechanisms and some dynamics diagrams as shown in the pictures attached but have no idea. I have Visio but there doesn't seem to be a Mechanics toolbar.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I use Inkscape a lot.

It's very well suited for mathemical and technical drawing thanks to its "magnet" feature that allows you to connect and align all the shapes perfectly.
However, it's not physics-oriented, but since it's a vector graphics software, you can get very smooth and clear results.

You'll just have to draw everything from scratch.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
