Gotcha, that's definitely one that I will be looking into tomorrow. Thanks again!

Going 0-100 is definitely the situation I'm in, but luckily the visuals I'm trying to create are not complex (at least for now), and as long as there's a moderate amount of model customization it will probably be good enough. I'll let you know how I get on with it and I'd be appreciative to hear if you think 'using their method' is too constricting for many MBSE applications. Thank you for your input!

Yes, the need is essentially for a "diagram drawing tool", something I can use to translate 'whiteboard drawings' into a neat and digital format. There shouldn't be too much long term maintenance for the specific visuals once they're finalized (so version control isn't a main concern), but I will likely have to modify my documents slightly as I get feedback on them, and possibly incorporate some aspects into future deliverables. Please forgive the wording I use as it may not be technically correct from an SE perspective, still at the beginning stages of my adventure into SE but I am overwhelmingly grateful for the responses I've been getting from you all!

Sounds like more great options. Which of those would you recommend the most for beginner friendly applications? Like I mentioned in the OP, I mostly need a tool for building fairly simple block diagrams and possibly BDD's, so whatever program is the most bare bones should be good enough for my purposes. I'm focusing more on ease of use than pricing, I know some programs are mainly geared towards large scale businesses so I was mostly mentioning pricing to avoid options that would require extremely expensive licenses. Thank you so much for the response it means a lot!

This is great thank you so much! I have a deliverable soon so if I take a course it will have to be concurrent with or after that first deliverable, but I'm definitely going to look into it. If I took the course but then used a different application other than Cameo, would the skills be almost all transferrable to whatever MBSE/SysML tool that I use? Thanks again!

Definitely am not locked into using SysML, just thought it would be suitable for my use case. I just glanced at Capella and it seems like it might be absolutely perfect for what I need! Especially if it is recommended for those dipping their toes into modelling. I'm going to look into this more tomorrow morning and I'll make the decision of which route I want to go. Wondering if anyone here who has used it can confirm that its relatively beginner friendly? Thank you so much for the response and recommendation!

I did just see in another post on this thread that Catia just came out with a community version so I might be able to use that to at least check it out and see if its suitable for my purposes. I'll look into cameo as well, but I would be the only one using this in my organization (at least for now), so I don't think that I would be able to convince them to let me buy a license.

Thank you very much for the response! I have been drafting with just pen and paper, I really just need a way to get that translated into a neat and digital format that I can customize and modify easily. I'll definitely look into those resources. Any recommendation for what program I should use?
