I would most defenitely find good use for that software.

By the way, my company created a Visio add-in to do the same thing,
and after about 3 racks full of gear, Visio used over 1GB of RAM and
ground to a halt. Needless to say, we aren't Visio experts, and I
was only too happy to have a reason to ditch Visio.
We ended up rolling our own software with Qt, and it rocks.
All you data center monkeys out there: Would this sort of tool be
useful to you? It lets you drag-and-drop equipment into racks,
create custom equipment "stencils", cable stuff together, etc. It
can produce lots of nice reports, like rack elevation documents and
cable labels.

Pluggers:
Does anyone know of software (commercial, Free, or otherwise) that
can be used to layout server racks? Think data center. I want
software to help me plan out, physically, where my servers and
other equipment will reside in their respective racks. Ideally, it
would also help me plan cabling needs as well (like how long my
cat-5 cables or power cables need to be).
Any ideas?
