Much needed Visio functionality....
It's a running joke amongst engineers that various network diagrams often look like they where drawn in crayon. On the back of a <cigarette packet/napkin/flyer/business card/delete as appropriate>. Whilst inebriated.
That said, there is more than likely some truth in that - arguably a great percentage of deals, interconnects and solutions were more than likely agreed over a beverage or two in a less than reputable establishment - any regular attendees to a UKNOF/NANOG and other events of their ilk will understand exactly where I`m coming from here...
So this started whilst I was sat at a hot desk .. I saw crayons and tweeted ... this led to various comments as you'd expect but a great reply from the MS Visio team shown below... which tickled me.
Fair Play to them ... and great to see a sense of humour in evidence - but it led to another thought - what other features are missing from Visio ?
Straight or not so straight answers welcome.
PS: I should add ... we have an Etch-A-Sketch for such tasks, the crayons are just a cold standby ;)
