SmartDraw is the perfect replacement solution for Visio^®. Import existing Visio^® files with just a few clicks and enjoy SmartDraw's power and ease of use. You'll be able to edit pages, ungroup symbols, change fill color, resize shapes and continue working on your Visio^® diagram.

Like Visio^®, SmartDraw lets you work behind your firewall, eliminating any security concerns you might have with web-only programs. However, it also offers the benefit of web-based diagramming when you need it, something Visio^® does not do.
