We have prepared some Visio compatible stencils that you can also use in DrawIO etc.
Please see if this is what you are looking for and if there are any missing features:

If this is good, let us know and we can continue adding other devices (suggest which categories).

You can read my mind!
That is exactly what I searched for last week!

Thanks. This I do like, but:

1. This is not in stencil format. (.vssx, .vss, .vsx)
Its .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics) and .vsdx (Visio drawing files)
Would be nice to have all in a stencil package.

2. The image are mostly CCR and CR devices

Would be nice to have most/all devices like home devices, wifi +++

Are there major differences between those file formats? The nodes can be attached to ports, at least in DrawIO

@Jotne: Perhaps I misunderstood what you’re looking for, but .vsdx is the standard format for Visio nowadays. You can easily convert it to .vssx, .vss, or .vsx for stencil use (just drag the shapes into a new stencil and save it in your preferred format).

@Normis: "Are there major differences between those file formats?" Yes, since the file formats are not compatible. But IMO, .svg and .vsdx cover almost all scenarios you need for high-quality printing on paper and web publishing.

please clarify what is not compatible, since I see no issue with the provided files in DrawIO and Visio

The .vsdx format is for complete diagrams, while .vssx, .vss, and .vsx are for collections of shapes (stencils). Also reread my previous comment.

They do work, but they are not stencils, mention it the title of the thread

Since I'm not a Visio expert, what does this mean in practice? We can prepare other formats

Thats awsome.
Love the formal stencils.

Draw.io is the new popular kid on the block and is my current choice of network drawings

IMHO with Stencils, one file contains several shapes and no diagram.
Downloading and add this only file to visio would make all devices in this stencil available in the shape palette .

( maybe one stencil per "prefix" CRS, CSS, RB would be convinient)

These also open in Omnigraffle Pro, for those users.

If this is good, let us know and we can continue adding other devices (suggest which categories).

That's really cool .. we'll add them to our Netbox, makes the rack view really nice .. can you provide front and back images for all rackable systems?

Cool!
Please let the CRS317 be the next one

Please add CRS304-4XG.Thanks!

Would you mind sharing some of your drawings so the popular-wanna-be's can play along?

Please keep the SVG Format as this is usable with more applications.

Hi Normis,
LTE devices and Rugged Outdoor Switches would be great please.

Dear Normis!
First of all, thank you for this!

About you answer "let us know and we can continue adding other devices" - yep, do not underestimate you "home" products. Or, as you guys say before - "branch office" products, which for 2023-2025 line-up mostly the same. We have plenty of AC2/AX2 and hEX Gr3 at remote locations and branch offices as routers.
So if you can make stencils for your other products as well, that would be great.

I also wanted to point out that Visio uses two different types of files. One is regular user document files (like Word .docx, Excel .xlsx and so).
The other are more specialised object storage files. Archives, or more correctly, containers, not in the sense of kubernettes, but in the sense of Matroska MKV, AVI and others.
One such container can contain a whole category (tens and hundreds) of vector images with metadata. AFAIK, you can specify ‘connection points’ for images in metadata. For example, for network equipment SFP or RJ-45 ports can be used as connection points, where connections between devices will be ‘attracted’. So, it's totally different and incompatible file types.

Thank you, Normis!

Absolutely great! Also perfect for netbox.
Please continue this and offer these graphics for all your products.

Please Add CRS504-4XQ-IN to this list as well! Thanks

First these are not stencils but drawings.

If you want to be more mainstream, you need to provide a Stencil file that contains all of the devices sold in the past 5 years and new devices should be added to the stencil file at the same time they are released.

Images should be Front & Back not just Front. A jpeg version should be available for immediate use in software like Netbox.

nice one

Thank you for sharing these stencils—this is incredibly helpful for network diagramming! I’ve tested them in DrawIO, and they import cleanly while retaining scalability. A few initial observations:

Current Set: The routers/switches stencils work perfectly for basic topologies. The layer annotations are a nice touch.

Potential Adds: If you’re expanding, antenna radiation patterns (for wireless links) and rack-mounted devices (for data center layouts) would be valuable.

Format Request: Could future versions include pre-configured ports (e.g., SFP+/Ethernet labels) for faster drag-and-drop use?

This is already a great resource. Looking forward to seeing more!

Thank you for sharing, I was doing some of them for myself, but these are better, because of the graphic representation Mine were mostly schematic. Good job guys!

"Let us know and we can continue adding other devices" is your response. Yes, you should not undervalue your "home" items. Or, as you previously said, "branch office" goods, which are essentially the same for the 2023–2025 lineup. We have a large number of branch offices and remote sites using AC2/AX2 and hEX Gr3 routers.
Therefore, it would be fantastic if you could also create stencils for your other items.ucharts


Additionally, I wanted to draw attention to the fact that Visio employs two distinct file formats. The first is standard user document files, such as Word.docx, Excel.xlsx, and so on.
The other ones are files for more specialized object storage. Archives—or, more accurately, containers—in the sense of Matroska MKV, AVI, and others, not kubernettes.

Loving this! The fidelity of images makes the networkk diagramming so much more attractive.

Can you add hAP AX3 and cAP AX please?

Please add L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD-NM

This should be part of the product rollout.... Let's go!!!!!
