I'd like to share lighting plans with my crew -- what software exists for creating lighting plans? What are the pros/cons to the different packages?

I've been using Microsoft Visio, but there must be a better app for this.

lightingdiagrams.com also offer a free-for-personal-use download of a PSD for photoshop which contains elements like you see below. These are each on separate layers so you can easily arrange them. There is also a version for PS Elements. A good option if you have photoshop and want to work offline or add your own elements.
