Please add the ability to cut and paste into popular appications.
The .bmp save feature is nice, but it doesn't work well if you want to
resize the diagram. Being able to "cut and Paste" is the best solution.
Add a auto-search network utility to scan network for active ip devices
At times when adding text you lose the tool bar I'm running win 98 on
a pent 3 733 with 96 mg ram
hmmm
ADD TELEPHONES AND PBX ICONS
DELETING AN OBJECT IS PAINFUL
I think a new set of pictures should be added with better looking icons so it can be used for the web
Suggestions: 1. Option to keep objects on the grid. 2. Move text-object. 3. Work in zoomed mode.
Layout in Landscape option.
Rotate text-object
move more then 1 selected items at once
Use the CTRL
key to move all selected objects.
stop preducing this program it sucks the big ass slurpy
lol
I would just like to say this is excellent!
Is it possible to make the diagram expand (to use as an example)
You've lost
me there.
Love it. There's a bug with redrawing under NT though, any chances of a fix?
It would be nice to have more space for object information or the ability
to connect an object to for example a word document
You could create
a folder with the same name as each object and define a function key to
open the folder eg. $explore c:\folders\$hostname
- Drawing Lines and Boxes in order to represent buildings or parts of buildings - Pinging all host objects every x seconds/minutes and change their backcolor from green to red (e.g.) when they don't reply - more possibilities to store data about objects (manufacturer, date of purchase, serial number, processor type and speed, RAM etc. etc.) I found a program with these features but they wanted 1400 US$ !!! I would gladly pay 250 US$ for your great program plus the mentioned features :-) Great job! Greetings from Germany, Heiko
Is there a way to add link types
Yes. Format
> Link Styles and then Add new link style.
keyboard commands to keep me from going up to the toolbar when I want
to not paste something, etc.
Its in the latest
alpha-test release
Great tool! And better yet, free! :-) Have you thought about incorporating some type of network discovery tool so that someone can first get a grasp of what's out there and then simply incorporate that info a diagram?
I can't download it.
Thanks for this great freeware program! It works like a charm. Jeroen. The Netherlands
Hello: I just explored sample3... This is way COOL!! The ability to interact with the equipment is a great concept. I'm tossing out my Visio drawings and will start to replace them with Network Notpad :) tks... I registered for the update info. cliff
How would you save a diagram as read-only or is there an interactive
Viewer for Network Notepad. I woul like to link our lab drawings on an
intranet but now allow the user to make any changes? tks in advance cliff
Use the File
> export to bmp option and then convert to gif or jpg using paintshop or
similar
Very good software! When I add a text-label, then I cannot delete it
(well at least I can undo it, yes) or move it or change label's text. It
could be very fine to see a new version that can handle better the text
labels!
At the moment
the only way to remove a label is to edit it and delete all the text.
I can't believe it's freeware. Why don't you add some features and break the commercial market?
I love this program! Just need some more icons and we'd be set! Keep up the good work. Will be waiting for any future updates!
PACK LANGUAGES. SPANISH ITALIAN ETC
Don't forget us Ludites who work with Token-Ring
Great product, any chance of Token Ring connections and patch panels. Keep up the good work!
Vendor specific device icons would be a great addition.
Option to save in a HTML format.
Icons do not scale well. I suggest vector graphics rather than bitmap. Ability to move a group of selected items would be *very* useful. Alternative for moving objects - holding down shift is counter intuitive. More line types other than standard and lightning. This program appears to be quite basic at a glance but on diving deeper into it, it is quite brilliant. Your interacive properties and tables are very clever.
It would seem that the link to 3.1.5 patch is actually 3.1.4. BTW -
I think your program is great!
Thanks. It's
sorted now.
Note ? Version 2.7.4 Beta In Binocular mode, control-mouse panning works, but the scroll bars don't. Op/sys: W2k, Graphics: SIS5598/6326 Mode: 1024x768, 15 bits. Keep up the good work!
Create an Arrow Tool - a tool that put's an Graphical arrow in the drawing, allowing the user to choose if it's an arrow <----> or an arrow with just one side , like ----> or <----- (it's similar to the link button, with the user can choose the direction: <-----> , ------> or <----
I was using version 3.1.5 and had a problem with LABEL. Every time The software created some labels automatically, without I asking to. I installed 3.2.1 and the problem continues. I delete the Label's (each label has the name label) but when I save and open the file again, the labels are there again.
It's a nice software. At the first 30 minutes of using it, I thought it's was were difficult to use it, but after reading the manual in homepage, it's got easier. Some suggestions: 1-Make it easier to delete (use just del) and to move objects (just move, without SHIFT) 2-Use ALT-enter ou doubleClick in the object to edit Properties (I think it's not necessary to have to select the object before doing something with it) 3-Printing it's not working (I use WIN XP Pro and Canon BJC-1000)
The software should be able to export to WMF format too, not only BMP. Regards, Stig
could you add ping functionality to use as network monitor
I had difficulty downloading from Winsite - they force you to a broken link. Got it in the end by doing a search and found a mirror site. So far looks great, while initially playing I found the use of cut to delete rather awkward. It's more intuitive to select and press the Del button. Also to get out of the 'inserting' an icon or link mode is a bit odd, some drawing packages just use a button with a 'select arrow' to go back to a normal mode. But defenitly a fine piece of software.
Exelent program, it is helping me a lot in my network class. Congrats for the good work you are doing...
Add Buttons to execute some tools like ping or trace
Add DNS capabilities to an object to resolve his name or ip address
un programa genial (cojonudo). Gracias
by copying an object for a second time, I got a "run time error" after which the application closed. The Workgroup Palette defaults to O:\something, isn't it better to have it default to C:\Program Files\Network Notepad\Options? I'm constantly looking for the palette... (but maybe that's just me :) )
After inputing information in the links table I was hoping to see the multiple addresses from a router listed so I could print them out. Can you print the links table?
How about a Linux version?
por favor deseo este programa en español
I need Switches, didnt found any in the collection. Nice Program.
Nice Program. I have three wishes for future versions though. 1) Layering of objects. 2) Grouping of objects 3) When I draw some links between objects, then insert a backbone object, if the backbone crosses the links then a hole is cut wherever the backbone object path moves over. In other words the backbone object cuts holes in links. I'm looking forward to exploring the scripting side of things.
Automatic generation of network basis after a scan
hello, it's a freeware and it's fun, but sometimes, it's bug, and shut down, why there isn't the function "erase", there's only the "cut" function ?
As Telnet is not a safe protocol to use do you have plans to add secure shell capabilities for connection function in NetPad? Like putty.exe or ?
How about exporting to a scalable format, like WMF?
hi, this is arun from india. i am doing my post graduation in computer science and i have taken up a project on networking. i found ur software very much useful. i would like to know more i.e how does it actually work and how does it make out a diagram out of it? another queation is that how to include the autodiscovery function? i hope that u would help me in this project. thank you, arun.
I'm using 3.2.5 version. It's very common to happen the following: when
I click with the text tool, and don't write any text, the next time I open
the same file, it have created a lot of Label's (written "Label" on it)
1-Tip: Just create a Label in the source code if the user type something.
2-When there is a lot of label's, I can't select all the label's in order
to delete it. (I tried to select it with the left mouse button, but the
label's doesn't selected.)
I need more
information on the "Label" problem as I cannot reproduce it.
