Concur. We are doing a big backdoc job right now with it.

Like Mr. Burbach said it will do what you want. Has some quirks, but over all is one of the more useful tools that I use. Troy L.

It's fast and can handle all your nodes. Norbert -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Prinsloo, Anton Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 4:58 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] Documentation of a Foxboro I/A system Dear All, I would like to ask some input as to the best possible way to document my system. I do require a method to back document a virtually undocumented system and it MUST include the ability to generate loop drawings, using data sucked from a running system. I have a 3 node Unix system that has recently been upgraded from 51D to P81 servers/workstations, SunOS 5.8, IA version 7.1.1. I am leaning towards the use of FoxCae, but I have been informed that it is not the preferred tool, is no longer supported, and that IACC is the way to go. I have a very negative view of IACC in its current format/version - it is laden with bugs, it is not robust, it is seriously restrictive in its operation, is not intuitive and I will need serious convincing before I would consider using it. What are users out there doing right now?
