I hope I don't offend anybody, but this is not my idea of good software.

It's a FileMaker "runtime" application that leaves a lot to be desired
both
in user interface and in functionality. For instance, it does not allow
you
to move modules around to experiment with physical layouts or to
specify a
specific configuration of cabinets to lay out in, and it's not easy to
add
multiple copies of a module, to delete multiple modules, or to get
summaries
such as # of modules of each type or total power consumption. Its menus
are
full of irrelevant FileMaker commands and its own graphical layout is
both
too small for me and not resizable at all.

But hey, it sort of works, it's free, and I'm not volunteering to write
a
better one, so some people might find it useful.
