7.2 Release Includes Nearly 100 New Templates, More than 500 New Symbols, 100 New Textures, Interior Design Wizard

San Diego, Calif. — May 18, 2005 - SmartDraw.com, the Internet's #1 provider of business graphics software, announced today the release of SmartDraw 7.2. This update—offered free to current SmartDraw 7 users—includes program enhancements, as well as new content and tools, new templates, including all-new layouts for certificates, flyers, and forms, and new symbols and graphics. In addition, SmartDraw now includes an Interior Design Wizard, along with new elevation view templates and textures.

Most prevalent among the new content additions are professional certificates and flyers for education and business, and new newsletter and scrapbooking templates. SmartDraw 7.2 also features specialized new forms for business, marketing, human resources, medical, and much more.

SmartDraw's new interior design templates (also known as "elevation views") allow users to look at the space head-on, instead of top-down as with traditional floor plans or blueprints. These new templates also allow for better visualization of a space by including new color schemes, and other new features such as fixtures and cabinetry symbols collections. A new Interior Design Wizard helps users create polished elevation plans in minutes.

In addition, SmartDraw now includes photo-realistic textures, such as granite, wood, metal, marble, and more, which make it easy to add a granite look to countertops, tiles to floors, and paving stones and grass to landscapes.

As always, SmartDraw helps users draw professional flowcharts, org charts, Gantt charts, mechanical and software diagrams, floor plans, calendarsand virtually any other drawing or diagram—in just a few minutes. With SmartDraw, even first-timers can enjoy eye-catching, effective, and expert results. Thousands of symbols and templates can be accessed with only a click. And SmartDraw's specialized wizards (such as the new Interior Design Wizard) walk users through selecting a template, editing text and fields, adding graphics, printing and even adding photos.

SmartDraw works hand-in-hand with Microsoft Office^® and many other programs and products people use every day. The major commands and functions within programs such as Word^®, Excel^®, and PowerPoint^® also work in virtually the same way in SmartDraw: copy and paste, drag and drop, and more.
