You could probably macro Visio to pluck items out of the columns in the

abilities in macro-writing, but it is probably possible. The real question
is: would taking the time to program it to be done automatically be faster
than just doing it manually? How many diagrams do you have to do?

Eh, I only have to do one, and I wouldn't take the time to write a macro just to do it...which is why I'm kinda hoping that a utility like this already exists...a visual traceroute of sorts, but without knowing a particular destination (IP scanner), to map out the whole network.

I'm just being kinda lazy - I don't want to have to actually trace each strand of a rack of spaghetti by hand to get a layout of the network. Besides, what kind of a sysadmin would I be if I weren't lazy? ;-)
