Please log in for more thread options We have a patch cabinet with 2 3com 48 port panels for the LAN and also 3 panels for the telephone system. I am attempting to draw up a diagram detailing what's patched to where (socket nos, tel ext nos etc) and I was wondering if there is any software available to illustrate the layout of a patch cabinet? Any ideas? Cheers guys. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Being very familiar with AutoCAD, Visio and SmartDraw, the easiest and the
cheapest way to handle this, in my opinion, would be to use SmartDraw. These guys give you 30-days free trial, and the amount of symbol libraries available will simply blow your mind. 3COM, Cisco, 100 other vendors, 7' rack, wire managers, you name it. I think you will complete your drafting project in couple of hours, let alone 30 days trial period. Here is the link: http://www.cabling-design.com/jump/ljpro.cgi?3 It is a shameless plug as well as a shortcut to the Tech Edition download. Once you got the software installed, get the update from their site and in this updates you'll have all the libraries you are looking for. Then start SmartDraw, and in the new file Wizard dialog that comes up, select Rack Diagram, and just start populating it. The software downloads 3COM library automatically as you are trying to use 3COM symbol fro the first time. -- Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD http://www.cabling-design.com Cabling Forum, color codes, pinouts and other useful resources for premises cabling users and pros http://www.cabling-design.com/homecabling Residential Cabling Guide ------------------------------------- Richard Thorneycroft wrote: > Forgive me if this is not the correct group.
