Diagramming
ConceptDraw diagramming capabilities allow you to produce impressive drawings with minimal efforts and in the most effective way:

• The program includes over a dozen of diagram-oriented libraries full of ready-made elements for drawing most types of 2D and 3D diagrams.
• With programmed library objects, it's a snap to draw such popular diagrams as pie or bar diagram - you type the percentage, and the parts reshape properly.
• Apply plain or gradient fills, patterns and shadows to add more impact to your drawings.
• OLE-compatibility allows you to use texts or tables created in other programs together with your ConceptDraw diagrams, producing attractive reports.

FlowCharting

• Objects with specific behavior (connectors and connection points) help you easily link objects so that the connection maintains even if you move the connected objects.
• The program includes more than 30 flowcharting-oriented object libraries for various spheres of action: business, databases, software diagrams and more.
• Use snapping to achieve maximum precision and accuracy in your drawings.
• For every object, you can describe its parameters in the table. This way you can create programmed objects with intelligent behavior which act as you want them to.

Web Modelling

• Use ConceptDraw to sketch a web site plan, or to describe and document a web site structure. Nearly 100 objects in 5 libraries represent the most important elements of site structure.
• You create fully Internet-integrated documents. By assigning hyperlinks to objects or text in your document, you get fast and easy access to web pages directly from your ConceptDraw document.
• It's always a good idea to use hyperlinks in site structure plans, where they can link to actual web pages, to other ConceptDraw documents or their specific pages or even to documents created with other applications you use (MS Word files, PDF documents, etc).
• Exporting drawings, drafts and sketches to HTML and placing them on the Web is a perfect way for sharing your ideas with friends and business partners in a minute.
• When exporting to HTML, each object on your chart gets a clickable area on the resulting image map, which corresponds exactly to the object's outlines.
• Your links remain operative even after exporting to HTML file. In other words, if objects in your document link to different resources (Word documents, zip files, other pages of the ConceptDraw document), the links work in the HTML version of the document.
• You can export all pages of the document to HTML. Hyperlinks between the pages of the document also work fine, i.e. will be properly processed in the HTML version. Hyperlinks, multi-page documents allow you to prepare a complete multi-page site in a snap.
• ConceptDraw automatically recognizes web addresses as hyperlinks in the text of the object. After you finish editing text, the link is assigned to this object.

Science and Engineering
ConceptDraw delivers a handy and solution-rich toolset for planning your projects and creating schemes of all kinds.

• Use supplied industry-specific libraries for tasks like designing electronic schemes, documenting technology processes, laboratory tests, etc.
• In the object's table, you can indicate precise position and dimensions for any object, which is vital in technical drawings.
• Guide lines and glueing help you work with multiple aligned objects when it's important to keep their relative distances.
• By using layers, you can divide a scheme into groups of related objects and work with each group separately, without any risk of accidentally affecting other groups.
• By saving your drawings into HTML format you can instantly distribute them to a broad audience through the Internet or your local Intranet.
• Chemistry drawing.

Network
When working on a network diagram, take full advantage of:

• powerful built-in resources of the program: Smart Connectors, Object Connectors, snapping and glueing, hyperlinks.
• specialized libraries with ready-made objects representing network devices with appropriate connection methods.

Floor Plans and Maps

• ConceptDraw gives you you easy-to-use tools to create to-scale, professional-looking floor plans with ease.
• Use the time-saving Align and Distribute tools to have the program arrange multiple objects evenly for you.
• Draw to scale to create realistic dimensions and distances and properly imitate large real-world objects.
• With snapping, the creation of precise corner connections is literally a snap!
• Choose among more than a hundred of predrawn symbols for home appliance, office appliance and furniture items from a variety of provided symbol libraries.
• By assigning related objects like furniture items or electric wiring to separate layers, you can work with one layer without the risk of accidentally rearranging objects on other layers.

Art Work

• With handy tools like Spline and Sector verctor images are produced with a one move of your hand.
• You can cut and merge lines.
• Customizable color palette.
• Gradient fills help to achieve realistic 3D effect.
• Use layers to add depth to the composition.
• Comes with a serie of design-related libraries.

Miscellaneous
ConceptDraw is a multi-purpose product, which can find an application for most different activities. For example:

• a set of libraries with country maps means you can use the product for visualizing global international processes, illustrating transportation routs, etc;
• it's convenient for creating all sorts of educational illustrations;
• by using the tables to program objects to perform different actions, you can produce interactive documents, where the program visually represents the results according to the input data;
• timelines and schedules;
• and much more ...
