I can't remember whether I follow the same produce outlined in the book, I'm sure it is more or less like that but modified a little bit. > Are there any special tools available to assist in developing applications > in Active4D /Fusebox?

The TextMate bundle is the best tool for helping with Active4D/Fusebox. The "New Circuit" action is broken, I haven't had a chance to fix it. > Is there a way to create a skeleton of circuits similar to the workflow > outlined in the book " Fusebox- Developing ColdFusion Applications" by > creating a Mind Map and processing it with Fuseminder?

Setting up circuits is so easy it isn't worth spending much time on automated processes. You can create a skeleton circuit of your own, something like this: circuit Controllers Models Views fbx_settings.a4d fbx_switch.a4d Just duplicate as needed when you create a new circuit. The most useful TextMate bundle feature is the "sh" tab completion. It creates a standard fusebox header for a file with placeholders for the important sections of the header.
