I am looking for a piece of software that can be used to map out equiptment and how it is connected, till now i have been using paint and it takes forever, i have attached a sample of what i am after.
Any CAD program will do you just fine, AutoCAD and VectorWorks are the industry standards.
If you were a Mac user, you could use OmniGraffle, which is a flow chart making program. I would imagine there are similar programs for windows as well.
And BTW, welcome to the Booth, stop by the new member forum and tell us about yourself!
i really should investigate it also, i like the fact you can drag premade objects (like desks) into the plot and it already knows what connections it has
i will upload a screen shot shortly, i am going to use it to draw a detailed plan for a visual set up, i used to set up a heap of equiptment and now i have passed the job on to others who keep doing it wrong, so im drawing up some detailed plans for them.
