Not sure, I think our own Matt D has used Visio before now. I'm sure he'll be along shortly

Run the Space Plan Startup Wizard

On the File menu, point to New, point to Building Plan, and then click Space Plan.

On the first page of the wizard, if you want to use an existing floor plan as a background, select its file type. Otherwise choose None, and then click Next.

If you're importing an existing floor plan, browse to it, and then click Open.

On the second wizard page, choose where the item numbers for your space plan will come from. If you choose:

From an existing spreadsheet, click Next, browse to the spreadsheet, and then click Open.

From a new spreadsheet, click Next. Excel opens with a sample spreadsheet you can fill in. Save the spreadsheet and close Excel. This will return you to the wizard.

Click Finish.
