This is the next feature which is more user friendly than I know it of Visio.

Like Visio ConceptDraw goes with dozens of collections of shapes, but the utility is almost the same too - you have to create your own customized shapes. You can easily add connection points to any part of shapes or if needed to lines. The automatic connection mode is also available. Really every shape can be turned into a shape with connectors. Smart connectors can flow shapes around, display gaps or bridges where they cross other connectors. Lines stay linked to their shapes, so you don’t need to redraw your diagram every time you move something. Unlimited number of layers are supported - and these layers are easy to handle - it`s very similar to FreeHand - not as complicated as Visio - when I work with Visio I use the layers feature hardly ever, because it’s not user friendly. Customizable grid and snap tool as well as the options to align shapes help to position your shapes precisely without a doubt better than Visio. It offers a set of vector drawing tools that can compete with any professional illustration program including Visio.

It provides a comprehensive set of features and tools to effortlessly represent and share any kind of concept, wireframe or structure on a smooth and easy way. I had been asked whether ConceptDraw is an alternative to Visio - I strongly believe YES.ĬonceptDraw is a useful diagram software that enables you to create sketches of functions, diagram and so on to visualize information and processes cost - and effort effectively. Is ConceptDraw DIAGRAM an Alternative to Microsoft Visio?
