What a clever and useful idea. I've only used zenmap for single IP's &
didn't realize that it takes wild characters.
  I Click & rotate/zoom the map nodes to how I want them, then export as
an svg, open the svg with Inkscape & add and notes etc. and from there I
can 'Save As' PDF, PNG, ODG, DXF, PLT etc., etc. Thanks Steve!
