OT: Visio or Autocad

Wed Oct 10 22:47:15 UTC 2007

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?
