Need to make a flowchart? Designed for professionals in search of a fast way to make vector-based graphics for drawings or presentations, this diagramming and drawing tool might make a viable alternative to Adobe Illustrator. It is certainly much easier to use. Using a collection of clip art, you can drag, drop or stretch designs, or create lines to represent their relationships. Other features include: collections of pre-drawn library shapes; WYISWYG text and graphics; export to graphics formats: and cross platform compatibility of features and files with Windows and Macintosh. If you need to make a floorplan or add some spice to a presentation, this is a viable consideration. Prices are $249 for a single user, $1120 for 5 users, and $1995 for 10 users. The program takes 800 MB of hard disk space for full installation, and requires registration.
