Product Description

SmartDraw 2010 contains dramatically enhanced functionality and exclusive new features that help business people improve communications, better organize ideas, refine their operations and simply work smarter. Create graphics without manually drawing. SmartDraw draws for you. Use simple buttons on the SmartPanel to add shapes and SmartDraw places them in just the right position with the appropriate connections. SmartDraw Legal Edition has been merged with the standard version of SmartDraw, which means you now get all the specialized legal content plus the standard content for a lower price.

The innovations in SmartDraw 2010 empower anyone to create high-impact graphics with a learning curve of just minutes. New features include:

Seamless PowerPoint Integration with Built-In Animation.
Using animation to reveal information step-by-step with each click is a key feature for helping audiences fully comprehend what the presenter is trying to convey. SmartDraw 2010 easily turns an unfocused, "busy" presentation into one that captures attention. With just one mouse click, SmartDraw transfers a graphic into a PowerPoint slide with built-in animation. SmartDraw applies these animation cues automatically and preserves them when the graphic is moved into PowerPoint. The result is a more compelling and memorable presentation. SmartDraw is the only business graphics program with this level of integration with PowerPoint.

Faster, Easier Project Management.
New project management features include more control, increased automation and improved customization of Gantt charts and timelines. SmartDraw offers real project management without the complexity and learning curve of a product like Microsoft Project.

Quicker Flowcharting.
Flowcharts are drawn automatically, using simple commands. Users can even build one without taking their fingers off the keyboard. Lines are drawn automatically. Formatting is automatic: shapes are evenly spaced and perfectly aligned.

Improved ImageCharts and ExpressCharts.
With ImageCharts, use pictures and images to display information instead of boring lines, bars, and circles. Simply drag any image-even a photo-onto a chart, and watch the data come alive. Or, create real charts and graphs of every kind without making a spreadsheet first with improved ExpressCharts.

Stunning New Presentation Effects.
Stunning new effects such as 3D graphs and perspective view take presentations to the next level. Includes new themes for storyboarding presentations, as well as more synergy with PowerPoint. Improved special effects add extra flair.

Automatic Mind Maps and Org Charts.
Like flowcharts, mind maps and org charts are also drawn for the user with simple commands. Trees can now expand or hide depending on desired output to show various levels of hierarchy.

Realistic Interactive Maps with Google.
The new Interactive Map feature captures data from Google maps to incorporate roads, regions, counties, zip codes, countries and even satellite images from across the globe into illustrations. With SmartDraw 2009 users can now plot data centered on a location, showing sales by region for example, making for an incredibly professional effect when presenting area-related data.

Automatically Map a Network.
SmartDraw can now network according to lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), resulting in a clear, comprehensive network diagram.

Smart Website Mapping. Users can simply type in the website domain and SmartDraw automatically generates a "smart" website map, organizing the pages in an intelligent, understandable way.

Better, Faster Floor Plans.
Floor plans include smarter walls and easier manipulation of shapes, as well as easy snap-on windows and doors. New dimension lines and area measurements make creating accurate floor plans easier than ever.
Sticky Notes. Add special explanatory notes to any shape with new "sticky notes" in SmartDraw. The note appears only when the cursor scrolls over the object so notes never clutter a diagram.

SmartDraw 2010 works seamlessly with Microsoft Office, allowing one-click export to MS PowerPoint, Word and Excel, making it easy to share SmartDraw graphics with others in plans, reports, and presentations.
