Paul -- 4000 pts?  ???  You have way too much time on your hands!!!   ;D  Did you find such a beast or do it programmatically? 
;D I did each one individually, placed with loving care at coordinates calculated by hand.  ;D
Done programatically, my SDL/UML/TTCN applications each use an outer frame on each page for making connections to the outside world. There a menu to execute code to create connection points, 500 per side, repeat, get 500 more per side. I have customers that want very long sequence charts, many pages.

Blah blah blah, GIVES US A SCREEN SHOT, DEAR GOD!

I'm thinking 4000 connection points will look like a penicillin culture...

File attached.

How big do you want to make that page?  :o

4000 Connection points indeed! But they seem to be intelligently spaced, and not mindlessly stacked on top of each other in the fascinating pile of goo that I was hoping for. :(

Btw, the attachment problem should be fixed now.
