What Happened to FlowCharter?
The Corel Corporation's iGrafx FlowCharter® (previously Micrografx FlowCharter and originally ABC FlowCharter) was a popular product in the flowcharting field about a decade back, but it has had a hard time keeping up with more versatile tools like SmartDraw.
FlowCharter was developed all those years ago as a simple flowcharting program, and it grew to offer only a handful of other similar technical diagrams. SmartDraw, however, was developed as a drawing tool that could do far more than just flowcharts.
SmartDraw lets you draw anything, and offers you features that make it ideal not only for flowcharts, org charts, and network diagrams, but also floor plans, circuit diagrams, technical drawings, and a wide variety of business charts and presentations.
With more than 20,000 built-in symbols and templates, you can use SmartDraw to create anything from a detailed process control chart to a marketing brochure.
