Howard - there is no tool out there that does what we are asking, afaik. Do you know of one?
The ones deke mentioned just stack vertically or horizontally. That's a start but the autoplace function is way more complicated than what those are doing. really a shame this doesn't work, because it makes it hard on the people who inherit rats nest scripts all day and have to sort through them. I love frames "scale nodes" function and you can snap to grids and things like that, but having a working layout tool that could build vertically with b-pipe dominance would really make a lead's life a lot easier... shake could do it!
