Sophisticated Diagramming Tools

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM’s libraries contain a number of special Live Objects including transforming, switching, and data-driven objects. Any Live Object’s appearance can be changed manually or in response to external data.
The Smart Connectors tool allows you to create and modify connections. Their behavior depends on the connector's type (Direct, Smart, Curve, Round, Bezier, or Arc). You can flip between them dynamically. The Chain and Tree modes provided automatic object connection.
An ordinary graphic object can be turned into a sophisticated Live Object and any object can be transformed into a connector.
