Build An Object Library Using Images Scraped From The Web

First create a new library to hold the new objects. Open the Object Libraries Window and click File > New. Enter a name for your library when prompted. e.g. "My Library".
Search the web for an image you want add to your library.
Use the Windows Snipping Tool to capture the image
Click the Copy button.
In your Object Library window Click the Paste button.
Right-Click the object in the library and rename it. Also rename the bitmap to something more appropriate.
Click the Save button to save your object library.

Library with scraped image

That's it, your new library is ready to use.
Images captured this way are not perfect in that they don’t scale well and they don’t have a transparent background, but it is quick and easy.
Further improvements can be made if you can find an actual image file to download instead of using the snipping tool.
.PNG and .GIF images support a transparent background and .WMF and .EMF files are even better as they scale nicely.
To add an image file to your library, drag and drop the file to the library background.
The following table compares some common graphic file formats which can be used with Network Notepad:

	File Type
	.bmp	.ico	.jpg	.gif	.png	.wmf	.emf
Transparent background colour		Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Scales nicely/ vector format						Yes	Yes
Compressed File/ compact file			Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Lossless	Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Alternative Sound Effects For NNping And NNMonitor

To replace the sounds played when a node changes state in NNPing or NNMonitor, replace the Up.wav and Down.wav files in each program's installation folder. For NNping that is usually the Network Notepad installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Network Notepad Professional or C:\Program Files (x86) \Network Notepad Enterprise. For NNMonitor it is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\NNMonitor.

(Right-click and choose Save link as.... and rename the files to Up.wav and Down.wav)

Wake-On-LAN Tool

The Wake-On-LAN tool is included with Network Notepad Professional and Enterprise Editions. It is used to wake up sleeping or suspended PCs and when combined with NNPing provides an audible and visual indication for when the PC becomes available (for an RDP connection for example).

Define a "Wake Up" tool/user defined app like this:

        NNPing $ipaddress 1000 3 up.wav 3 down.wav on&&nnwol.exe $VAR1

This will start NNping for the object selected and then send a Wake-On-Lan magic packet to it.
The $VAR1 user variable is configured in Network Notepad in the Object's Properties Form on the Misc Tab as show here:

        $VAR1

$VAR1 provides 3 items of information:

        <broadcast IP address> <port> <mac-address>

In the example above, 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast IP address for the 192.168.1.0/24 network.
9 is the UDP port number used for Wake-on-lan. I understand ports 0 and 7 may also be commonly used for Wake-on-lan.
21-3a-55-37-6e-76 is the mac address of the PC.

Also of note in the Wake Up tool definition, "&&" enables multiple programs to be run from one tool definition and the nnping "on" parameter overrides the normal toggle on, toggle off state for nnping to ensure the nnping runs even if a nnping for the device is already running.

So, you have woken a PC up and RDP'd to it and done some work. How do you put the PC back to sleep?
I use a sleep.bat file on the PC with the following content:

        ping -n 15 192.168.1.1
        C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

The first line pings the default gateway for 15 seconds. It just acts as a delay to give you time to disconnect from the RDP session before the PC is put to sleep. NNPing will confirm the PC is sleeping.

If anyone out there knows a better way to provide a 15 second delay instead of using ping, let me know.
The sleep command on the second line works fine, but I note that in my case I cannot wake the PC using the mouse or keyboard after it has run. I have to press the power button instead. This is not a big problem, but maybe there is a different sleep command that fixes this?

64-Bit Enterprise and Professional Editions

64-bit Enterprise and Professional Editions are now available to download. They overcome a memory limitation in 32-bit apps, enabling a maximum page size which is 4x bigger.

Script Objects Texturefill and Antialias Commands

The texturefill command fills a path using another script as the brush. Use it to fill an area with a repeating pattern.

texturefill ventarea ventscript9

texturefill path script [x y] [xscale] [yscale] [angle]
path - name of path to fill.
script - name of script to use as a brush.
x y - position of drawing.
xscale yscale - optional scale transform.
angle - optional rotation transform.

The antialias command switches antialiasing off or on. The default setting in on.

antialias off

antialias off | on
off - switch off antialiasing
on - switch on antialiasing

For an example of using these commands see the Wisenet XRN-1610SA NVR in the library

Export to PDF

You can now export a Network Notepad document to a searchable PDF file:

File > Export To PDF > Export Page or Export Document

Export To Bitmap From Command Line

Enterprise Edition Example

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Network Notepad Enterprise\NNEnterprise.exe" -export c:\tmp\outfile.png -page 2 c:\tmp\infile.ndg

Professional Edition Example

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Network Notepad Professional\dotnetpad.exe" -export "c:\tmp\output file.gif" -page 1 "c:\tmp\input file.ndg"

Network Notepad Enterprise Edition

	Network Notepad Enterprise Edition is aimed at users who need the option of collaborating on diagrams stored on a shared drive. It solves the problem where a document which is edited simultaneously by multiple users results in changes made by one user being overwritten by another user.
	The default operation of Enterprise Edition is identical to the Professional Edition except when a document is marked as a shared document in the Diagram Properties Form.
	A shared document is initially opened in read-only mode. All edit functions are disabled until the user clicks the Lock File Button.
	A "lock file" is created along side the document file. It stores the name of the user who has locked the file and the time and date the lock was created.
	Other users who have the document open will see the status displayed in the title bar. They are blocked from editing the document until the lock file is released.
	When the active user releases the lock by clicking the Lock File button again, the document is automatically saved.
	The status is reflected in the title bar for other users and the refresh button changes colour to red to indicate an update is available.
	Clicking the refresh button reloads the document. Clicking the Lock button to make changes automatically reloads the document first if the diagram has been updated by another user.

Radiused Link Joins

On the Format Link Style form you can now specify a join radius:

Radiused Link Joins

Attach Labels To Links

	When labels are attached to links, they are rotated automatically to follow the slope of the link. When the connected objects are moved, the labels automatically adjust to the new slope angle as shown in the example here.
	How To Attach Labels To A Link

1. Place labels in approximate positions using
the text tool.

2. Select the link first (black/red circle indication
at link termination point) then select each of the labels.
3. Click Format and then Group.
The labels are grouped with the link and are automatically rotated to follow the slope of the
link segment.
Selecting the link now also highlights the
related labels.
4. Finalise label positions using Drag and Drop or nudge.

Alignment Points

There are three alignment points on a link segment, one at each end and one in the centre of the link segment. The position of a label is relative to the nearest alignment point when the label was first grouped with the link.
In the example shown here, when SW2 is moved the first label's position is relative to that end of the link and so it moves by the same distance. The label on the right is relative to the SW1 end of the link and so remains more or less static. The third label is relative to the centre point on the link and so after SW2 is moved it moves to the new centre point of the link.

Detatching A Label from A Link

To detach a label from a link, right-click the label and click Ungroup in the context menu.

NNMonitor

NNMonitor is a ping monitoring program for use with Network Notepad Professional and Enterprise Editions. Open a Network Notepad .ndg file with NNMonitor and click the Run button to start pinging all of the nodes in the document. NNMonitor displays the status of each node and can send email alerts and play sound effects when nodes change state. It can also display the status of each node in Network Notepad and can be launched from as a tool in Network Notepad. More information here.

NNMonitor

Script Objects "paint" command

The new "paint" command enables a Script Object to include other Script Objects in it's drawing. The command syntax is as follows:

	paint "RJ45 Socket" 50 20	paint <script name> <X> <Y> [<optional X-scale> <optional Y-scale>]
		<script name> - The name of the script object to draw. It must be present in the current diagram's table of Script Objects.
		<X> <Y> - The coordinates of the Script Object.
		<X-scale> <Y-scale> - Optionally draw the Object Script using non-default scale values.

The Format Script Object form has been updated to make it easier to switch between Script Objects and use the paint command.
The following example Script Object demonstrates the paint command (copy and paste it to diagram to view):

Merge Script Objects

Format > Merge Script Objects enables multiple Script Objects to be merged in to a single Script Object. Text can also be merged.
In the following example a simple hub is built up from components in the online Script Objects Library and then merged:

1. Add the parent object which will act as a container for the other components.
I have used Format Script Object to create a simple box and given the script a new unique name (this is important).

script "Netgear FE104" 158 25 0.5
brush blue_brush &h8B4001& 255
path name Box
path addrectangle 0 0 158 25
fill "Box" blue_brush

2. Copy and paste script components from the online library on to the parent object.
I have added four RJ45 sockets and then using the Text tool added a brand label.

3. Put the parent box and child components in to a group.
Select the parent Box first followed by the 4 sockets and the label, then select Format > Group on the ring menu.
The objects are now loosely bound together.

4. Select the group by clicking the parent box and then select Format > Merge Script Objects.
The parent box and the 5 child objects are now merged into a single Script Object.

fill single_port silver_brush 96.5 8
fill rj45down black_brush 97.5 19 1 -1
fill path1 brush1 5.25 2.25

5. To save the new object to the current local library, right-click the object and select Format Script Object. Click the "Save to Library" checkbox and click OK.
Please email me a copy of your new scripts (or any new components) for inclusion in the online library!

There are a number of restrictions with the Merge Script Objects feature:

The component objects must not be rotated.
The component objects must use their default x-scale and y-scale settings (That will be 1,2 or 4 depending on the Format > Resolution setting).
Name and Address labels are excluded from a merge.

Format Script Object

Format Script Object provides an environment for creating and modifying Script Objects. Access it from the Format menu or right-click a Script Object in a diagram or the library window.

Format Script Object form

$ADDRLIST Variable

You can create a special object which is used to start NNPing for multiple nodes at once.
Add an object and label it "Ping all".
In the Address property for the object, list the IP addresses of multiple nodes separated by ";" characters e.g.

192.168.1.1;192.168.1.2;192.168.1.3;192.168.1.4;192.168.1.5

Configure a function button like this:

Command:
NNPing $ADDRLIST 5000 3 up.wav 3 down.wav
Display:

Network Notepad Scripts Help

A Script Object consists of the following statements:

1. The script statement sets the name, overall size of the object, and the revision number.

	script "Test object" 50 20 0.1	script <name> <width> <height> <revision>
		<name> - name of the script object. If the name contains spaces then enclose it in "quotation marks". The name should be globally unique.
		<width> - width of the object.
		<height> - height of object.The width and height set the size of the outline box displayed when pasting the object. In the examples I am using a default scale of 1pixel per mm.
		<revision> - Revision number of the script. When pasting scripts which already exist in the diagram, the script will only be replaced if the new script is a higher revision.

2. Align statements optionally enable objects to be automatically aligned when one object is pasted or dragged and dropped on to another object.

	align + screw -11 6 454 6 -11 50.5	align <+ or -> <type> <points>
		<+ or ->. A "+" script can only align with a "-" script.
		<type> For scripts to align the type must match between the two scripts.
		<points> A list of X Y alignment points.

3. Path statements define the shapes, lines and text in the object.

	path name test	path name <name> <name> - name of graphics path.
	path startfigure	Starts a new path rather than drawing a line from the last position to the next position.
	path addline 10 10 10 20	path addline from <x1> <y1> to <x2> <y2> Adds a line to the current path.
	path addlines 10 10 10 20 30 15	path addlines <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2>... <xn> <yn> Adds a series of lines to the current path.

4. Pen and Brush statements define the pens and brushes used in the commands section below.

	pen black_pen0.5 &h000000& 255 0.5	pen <name> <colour> <transparency> <width> Pens are used with draw commands to draw the outline of a a path. <name> named of the pen. <colour> Blue green and Red values in Hex. <transparency> 0-255 where 255 is solid colour. <width> width of line drawn with the pen.
	brush grey_brush &ha0a0a0& 255	brush <name> <colour> <transparency> Brushes are used with fill commands to fill an area enclosed by a path. <name> named of the brush. <colour> Blue green and Red values in Hex. <transparency> 0-255 where 255 is solid colour.

5. Commands are used to draw paths using pens and fill paths using brushes. The options command enables optional drawing commands to be executed at runtime by right clicking an object and selecting "Options".

	fill "test" grey_brush 20 10	fill <path> <brush> <x> <y> [<xscale> <yscale>] [angle] Fill an area enclosed by a path using the specified brush. Draw at position <x> <y> and apply an optional local scale transform. <path> name of path to fill. <brush> name of brush to use. <x> <y> position of drawing. <xscale> <yscale> scale transform. Negative values are used to flip the drawing about the x or y-axis. For an example of this see the left and right brackets in the 2960 switch which use the same path but flipped about the y-axis. <angle> optional rotation in degrees.
	draw "top box" black_pen0.5 20 10	draw <path> <pen> <x> <y> [<xscale> <yscale>] [angle] Draw the outline of a path using the specified pen. Draw at position <x> <y> and apply an optional local scale transform. <path> name of path to draw. <pen> name of pen to use. <x> <y> position of drawing. <xscale> <yscale> scale transform. Negative values are used to flip the drawing about the x or y-axis. <angle> optional rotation in degrees.
	option "brackets"	option <name> The option command is followed by optional fill and draw statements which can be enabled or disabled at run-time by right-clicking the object and choosing "Options". E.g. See the brackets and screws options in the 2960 switch example. <name> is the name of the option which will be displayed in the options menu.

Grouping and Locking

Group objects by first selecting the parent object followed by any child objects, then select Format > Group.
Selecting the parent object now also selects all child objects when copying, nudging, dragging and dropping, etc.

To Lock a group, right click the parent object and choose Lock > Group Lock.
Now when you resize the parent object, all child objects are proportionally resized as well.

Open Multiple Documents Simultaneously

You can now open more than one document at once. Each open document presents its own tab bar at the bottom of the window, where you can select pages from any open document instantly. You can also drag and drop or copy and paste pages between documents using the page tabs. These features are mainly useful if you work with many multi-page documents so it is disabled by default. To enable it, set the "Maximum Open Documents" setting in the Setup Form to a sensible figure such as 6.

Nested Link Styles

E.g. in the following drawing the Dual 10G links consist of a red link 5 pixels wide with a secondary white link which is 3 pixels wide. See the Format Link Styles menu option for more information.
