Greetings all,
A good friend of mine swears that Autocad is superior for network design
to Visio. I don't disagree, but only because I have never used Autocad
for network design. So far Visio has generally met my needs when I'm
working on a design, but I have found it lacking (or perhaps just my
Visio skills?) when trying to merge L2 and L3 designs. Most of the time
I start from scratch on each layer, but it does become a burden as
changes are made once the design becomes operational, and over its'
lifetime.
Is anyone using Autocad for network design? What are your thoughts?
-- Stephen.
