templates and examples for every type of visual, SmartDraw 2010 also

SmartDraw 2010 pushes the software
performance envelope with dozens of new improvements that make creating
visuals faster and easier than ever.
Here's what's new: • The
totally redesigned template browser in SmartDraw 2010 gets you started
faster with an intuitive new way to find the right template or example
for your project. • Know exactly what you're looking for? The
powerful new search feature is guaranteed to get you to the right
template or example fast. • Create your entire chart without taking
your hands off the keyboard faster than ever with easier and better
keyboard controls. •
With SmartDraw 2010 you'll create your organisation chart faster than
ever, thanks to these two big improvements: Automatic Spacing: The
spacing between boxes is now totally uniform and can be adjusted
globally for the whole chart. Automatic Connector Lines: Easily
rearrange your chart by dragging boxes below others. Connector lines
appear automatically. • Two big improvements that will help you
diagram your workflows even faster than before: Shape Swap: This unique
feature makes changing and editing your flowcharts, and other diagrams,
easier than ever. Automatic Swimlanes: Swimlane flowcharts is one of
the most useful tools for visualising and improving processes. With
SmartDraw 2010, they're even easier to create by automating the
swimlanes.
Get Projects Done On Time & Under Budget: •
The graphics engine under the hood of SmartDraw 2010 has been rebuilt
into a high performance machine. This means that project charts—even
those with hundreds of tasks and resources—appear almost
instantaneously. No more waiting for a redraw each time you make a
change to your chart. • The more complex the project, the bigger the
project chart. Smartdraw 2010 makes working with even large project
charts easy because it allows you to hide and reveal any column in your
chart. • Tasks can be grouped hierarchically so that the length of
the parent task reflects the length of all the sub tasks below. You can
also "roll up" subtasks so that only the master task is shown—giving
you a simpler view of your chart. • Easily track the progress of
your project by entering the percent complete for each task. Percent
complete is shown visually on each task bar. • You can now get a
quick overview of your project with the new Timeline view. •
A mind map is the perfect tool for brainstorming. With SmartDraw you
can use a mind map to come up with everything that needs to get done
for your project. Once your project is completely scoped out, convert
it to a project chart with a single click. • Make one task start
when another ends. Change the end date of the first task and the start
date of the second changes automatically.
Create Killer
Presentations: •
Using a graphic in a slide beats boring bullets every time, but
revealing a graphic in a series of steps can increase comprehension
tenfold. SmartDraw builds this in automatically. • Plan out your
presentation using SmartDraw's unique storyboard feature. Easily
re-order your slides by dragging and dropping. •
Visuals communicate faster and more effectively than text alone. It's
easy to add visuals—even other SmartDraw files—to your storyboard. •
SmartDraw 2010 allows you to select a slide layout for each slide you
add to your storyboard—just like PowerPoint®. •
Once you've planned you presentation and laid it out in a storyboard,
one simple step remains-to create your PowerPoint presentation.
SmartDraw does it for you. Simply click Build and watch as SmartDraw
builds your entire PowerPoint® presentation automatically.
