Patent Drawing Software

Easy to Use

You can easily drag and drop shapes or create flow stype diagrams with built-in automation. Draw virtually any type of line—straight, curved, or polygon—you want. Change line width, color, and add arrowheads with a click.

Easy to Find the Symbols You Need

You'll get an enormous library of symbols to drag-and-drop or stamp onto your canvas. Select from a set of standard geometric shapes like rectangles, diamonds, and trapezoids or delve into our extensive library of thousands of symbols and images across a wide range of categories.

Easy to Draw and Print to Scale

SmartDraw lets you draw to scale easily. Choose a common standard architectural scale, a metric scale, and more. You can print to scale just as easily. And your printed scale doesn't have to match your drawing's scale. You can easily change the scale at any time, even after you've started drawing.
