SmartDraw's automation is unparalleled. With Gliffy, you get a few rudimentary tools and if you need to change anything—move a shape, delete a shape, or add a new shape—you're on your own.

SmartDraw does the drawing for you. Add or remove a box, and SmartDraw realigns and arranges all the elements so that everything looks great.

Here is a short summary of just some of the features that make SmartDraw so much more easier to use than Gliffy^®:

• You can add shapes using just the keyboard and they are automatically placed in the correct position and properly connected to the other shapes in the drawing.
• You can move a shape from one position to another and it will snap into place all while your drawing reformats automatically.
• You can delete a shape and the lines will heal and the other shapes will re-adjust to fill the empty space automatically.
• You can select a shape and start typing text into it without having to double-click.
• You can tab from one shape to another and enter text.
