Hi Mario,
I'm not sure if there is a program that will automatically create a strat column for you. I would love to see it if there is one available. I create all of my strat columns using Adobe Illustrator - scan in the hand drawn document, and trace over it with swatches. As far as I know, it's the main programs used, although I'm sure that there are other ways of doing I haven't seen.
On a side note, USGS published a wonderful set of swatches several years ago in an attempt to standardize the symbols used for strat columns and maps. It's a great resource in the sense that you might not have to create a swatch all together. You should check it out:

Hope this helps!! :)
