From July 2065438 to July 2007, students of Beijing Forestry University drew a subway route map on campus, which was well received by many readers. As a result, this idea was imitated by many college students. Students from China Renmin University, Zhejiang University and Southwest Jiaotong University opened their minds and drew their own rail transit maps. For students who have no painting foundation, how to generate circuit diagrams with software? Let's watch together!

Professional software for drawing subway route map.

Like Ai drawing software, Edraw Max is also a professional vector drawing tool. However, there are tens of thousands of ready-made icons built into Yitu icons, which can be used at will, which will greatly reduce the entry threshold for painters. In addition, Yi Tu has a familiar operating interface and a convenient operating environment, which can help users draw satisfactory works in a short time. Originally, it took 1 day 1 night to complete the Ai drawing tool, but it only took 1 hour to make a billion-dollar figure.
