Smartdraw Drawing Software
 SmartDraw
is an excellent, extremely intuitive business graphics software
program for creating professional-quality graphics such as
flowcharts, org charts, Gantt charts, timelines, floor plans,
calendars, flyers, image layouts, diagrams, drawings, and
more. SmartDraw's attraction is that it is drag and drop drawing;
assembling clip art, graphical symbols, and text takes only
a few clicks. SmartDraw uses smart templates to allow new
users without graphics training or design skills to easily
create complex business documents.
The new SmartDraw
has an all-new interface. New features and improvements include:
- SmartTemplates - there are hundreds of templates
for every type of business graphic using SmartDraw's proprietary
SmartTemplate technology. Each SmartTemplate loads a diagram
specific SmartPanel command set and the associated SmartHelp
step-by-step instructions. This is a huge help for beginners
faced with creating documents unfamiliar to them such as
Gantt charts.
- Tools and functions have been put into intuitive groups
called SmartPanels for quicker access. Each Smart Panel
has single-click task buttons relevant to the diagram type
being created/edited. This makes it easier to find tools
at one click, rather than digging down through several layers
of menus.
- One-click transfer to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF,
helping you create dynamic presentations. There is new control
for automatic line spacing to get double-line spacing just
like in Word™.
- Better Graphics and new special effects. The new
graphics engine draws smoother gradients and shadows and
the new Effects and Shadow tools lets you add reflections,
glows, glosses, and improved shadows to any drawing.
- Professionally-designed color themes offer an array of
harmonizing palette of colors and styles you can choose
with one click.
- Other new features include the ability to add textures
to lines and text, and new gradient and texture-based backgrounds.
You can also import your own custom image as a background.
 More
than 1,200 templates are available, including calendars, picture
frames, floor plans, business forms, flowcharts, and much
more. There are also more than 60,000 professionally designed
symbols and graphics covering everything from landscapes to
mind maps to holidays, for your drawings and flyers. These
symbol and template libraries cover virtually every specialty
in most every industry: sports, healthcare, business process
management, education, landscaping, interior design, mathematics,
software design, and more.
SmartDraw Suite actually features a version of their FotoFinish
photo editing software right inside the program. It's called
the SmartDraw Image Plug-In, and it was based upon the FotoFinish
product. It lets users do many of the same things they would
in FotoFinish without needing to launch a second program.
SmartDraw also offers two specialized versions. The Legal
Edition is designed for lawyers, investigators, and law enforcement
personnel to create courtroom exhibits, legal flowcharts and
diagrams, accident reconstruction diagrams, crime scenes and
more. The Healthcare Edition is for doctors, nurses and healthcare
administrators to create patient and staff education materials,
anatomical diagrams, project charts, floor plans and more.
You can
try SmartDraw for free for 7 days and see why it was
voted "Best Business Program" two years in a row.
