I've had pretty good luck with OmniGraffle Professional, and, it's fairly cheap, too. Has many of the features Visio has, and, is gaining more on a regular basis. It lacks the Visio silly pictures (although you could create your own easily enough), but, it does understand connections between objects and has some more advanced metadata features I haven't yet learned to use. It's also got half-way decent auto-layout capabilities. http://www.omnigroup.com Owen --On March 21, 2006 9:17:44 PM -0500 "Howard C.

Personally, I hate both little pictures of equipment and Cisco hockey-puck icons; I much prefer things like rectangles saying "7507 STL-1" or "M160 NYC-3". Assuming you use *NIX platforms (including BSD under Mac OS X), what are your preferred tools for network drawings, both for internal and external use? I'd hate to be driven to Windows only because I need Visio. -- If this message was not signed with gpg key 0FE2AA3D, it's probably a forgery. Attachment:
