Diagraming Racks with Visio 2007

  • 772

I need to diagram some of my racks with Visio. The tutorials on the web say to use File :: New :: Network :: Rack ... But under network I only have 'Basic network Diagram'. I can find some of the shapes by searching for the rack, but not sure how to load a library that has all of them. Anyone know where I go to get that stuff?

    It should be a default template. You may try reinstalling Visio and making your you install the default templates. If you don't want to mess with that, here is a free-bee from the Tech-Republic.

  2. Are you going for aesthetics or function?

    Unless I'm making something to show off, or for installers to put together right (they like pretty pictures), then I go for utility. For me, that means plain squares, with heights to match the size of the machine. The bonus is that the description of the machine can fill the box (if your diagram is sized such that it's possible, anyway).
