SmartDraw 2010:

• And lets you collaborate effortlessly with your team members

Now you get it all. Specialised healthcare content includes more than 150 high-resolution anatomical illustrations from Netter™ Images, plus thousands of healthcare and medical symbols of all kinds.
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.
Increase Collaberation for Team Success:
• SmartDraw 2010 gives you access to all your old Visio® files, plus new ones you receive from colleagues.
• SmartDraw 2010 now integrates with Microsoft SharePoint®, one of the most popular document management systems in the world.
• Avoid the inevitable and confusing collection of co-worker emails by putting all your review comments right into your SmartDraw document.
• SmartDraw is fully integrated with Microsoft Office®. With just one click, you can send your completed drawing directly to Word®, Excel®, or PowerPoint®.
• SmartDraw even integrates with Microsoft Project® so you can quickly and easily plan a complex project. Save your SmartDraw project chart in Microsoft Project® format to share with coworkers.
