Redesigned Project Management
With SmartDraw 2012 we've completely redesigned how project management works. Now project charts can always fit on a single page and are more manageable thanks to brand new zoom and scrolling controls.
The new Assignment view lets you see who is doing what at a glance. You'll be able to see the progress for each task, color coded to show when a task is late and when it is complete. Accountability has never been so easy!
Plus, you can save time by creating your own custom libraries of common tasks to reuse again and again.

Announcing Information Hubs: A Powerful New Organization Tool
With SmartDraw 2012, you can now create a visual hub of documents, diagrams, links, and other complex information using our easy-to-use templates. Hubs let you organize your own projects and provide a quick and easy way to communicate complex information with anyone in your organization, whether it's a new hire or upper management.

Completely Rebuilt Meeting Management
With our brand new meeting templates, you can now capture and assign tasks in real time. Quickly and easily set the status of each task, and see their progress with color coded icons to indicate any task that's late or complete. All at a glance! That's built-in accountability!

Brand New Timelines
Create stunning timelines using completely overhauled automatic controls. Events and tasks now line up automatically and never overlap. You can move events and tasks around without ever losing them and control the amount of detail you want displayed with just a few clicks.

Revamped Org Charts
SmartDraw 2012 also gives org charts a well-deserved facelift! You can now add photos to your org charts in just a single click. Make your charts stand out from the crowd and manage your charts with simple, one-click controls that provide automatic formatting.

And here are some of the amazing features you've been missing out on.
Time-Saving Shortcuts and Automation
Over the years, SmartDraw has added dozens of improvements in the way you create a visual from intuitive keyboard shortcuts to automatic chart building.
The template browser and search make finding the right template faster than ever. Shape swap allows you to edit a chart without having to redraw it. And automatic spacing and formatting keep everything looking professional.

With all the shortcuts we've added, you can even create a flowchart, org chart, or mind map without ever taking your hands off the keyboard.
Totally New User Interface and Controls
SmartDraw's user interface has been totally re-engineered to the very latest design developed by Microsoft for Office® 2010. The result is an unparalleled user experience that makes it easier for you to get the results you need faster. Plus we've added autosave and recovery, document linking, collections and much, much more.
A Powerful PowerPoint® Builder
SmartDraw lets you create eye-catching presentations without even having to open PowerPoint®. Plan your presentation visually in a storyboard format, easily add visuals, then create your entire PowerPoint® slideshow with a single click.

Robust Collaboration Tools and Integration with MS Office and SharePoint
SmartDraw is fully integrated with Microsoft Office®. With just one click, you can send your completed visual directly to Word®, Excel®, or PowerPoint®. You can also publish your SmartDraw file to your SharePoint® server with just one click.

If you regularly collaborate with others on your charts, our powerful markup features let your whole team easily add, track, and review comments. Or add simple notes that are revealed as you mouse over.
