Libreoffice Draw

• 2021 - Used Draw with AWS icons.

  1. Download AWS svg icons, from https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons/

  2. Extract them to dir. (Asset-Package-xxxx)
  3. Open Libreoffice Draw - Gallery - and import the icons.
     • At bottom of Gallery, click on [New]
     • Change file type to SVG
     • Use [Find Files] and select the dir where you have the unzipped aws icons
     • Use [Add All] to create new gallery with the icons.

     • Optional: A bit dangerous, cleanout Asset dir of all non SVG and duplicates.
