I used visio only because it has a floor planning toolset drag and drop
walls etc, even put furniture in.
But Xara can do this quite easily, i.e. scale drawings, and given a few
minutes you can knock up scaled furniture and components. And being a
completely sexy vector graphics package allows you to modify and scale
all
the components really easily.
I exported the visio map into Xara to then create images for homeseer to
use
for ultraview.
