[AccessD] MS Access Drawing Capabilities

I did not set it up to print the room...but I have done something similar where I had a number of shapes/images on the screen(42 pool tables,25 dining, stools, bar)...and the user could rearrange/orient each of the items...click on each image to 'do stuff' or see info related to it.
 
I used rectangles and embedded images.  Everything is adjusted by 'twips'.
 
Not the prettiest approach...but could accomplish what you are looking for.
 
Good luck.
