That's what I started out with... the majority of our blocks are attributed. They're handy, but I have to get a little 'creative' with this job due to space constraints. IT don't really know what they want to show, either. This job isn't the greatest one I've ever worked on. A few people who have an idea of what to do, but no one really "KNOWS".
If you were offering up an example, I'd love to see it. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.
I would really have to dig around to find a 'recent' example...
however a description should work...
Create a Block of the Router, add attributes to Each port, one for port number, another for the wall outlet in the office
I did a floor plan in CAD...each office had blocks with attributes for the PC Name, and ALL other information about the PC.
Each printer or plotter also attributed with Plotter Make/Model IP Address if hard coded (none IF using DHCP to assign IP's to devices). Also equipment closets were shown to assist in planing cable runs to stay within limits of CAT5 and or wireless routers. Basically a searchable schematic usable to troubleshoot or even inventory the network components.
Keep in mind all of this falls apart pretty quick if the patch cables don't get ID TAGS attached to BOTH ends of them.
