Users can easily plan their projects in SmartDraw and then export their data if desired to MS Project with a single click. In addition to vastly improved performance for large charts and long-term projects, SmartDraw 2012 also offers enhanced integration with Microsoft Project.
Improved automated timelines performance ensures more natural, fluid behavior when adding and arranging events, which are scaled automatically to prevent overlap of adjacent milestones.
A single click expands the entire chart for a high-level view to scroll through the full timeline. Granular zooms make it easy to quickly scroll earlier or later in time to see what recent tasks have been completed and what's coming up.
Zoom and scroll within the project timeline or fit the entire project chart to the PC screen and zoom in on the timescale to view as much or as little of the project as desired.
Redesigned project views give users a more comprehensive vantage point with the ability to drill down to examine fine details. Floating toolbars and the ability to access feature-specific toolbars within the chart with a simple mouse over enhance the user experience. The newest version is specifically designed to improve project coordination, communication and success with a number of new features. SmartDraw's intuitive software allows anyone to easily create professional-quality flow charts, mind maps, project charts, timelines and more. "Now, SmartDraw allows easy navigation and scales to suit any project with the same intuitive functionality, plus we've added exciting new meetings and planning features that will make project management with SmartDraw even easier for anyone to do." "We've essentially rebuilt the project chart features from the ground up and tightened their integration with our other automated views, such as mind maps and timelines, to improve performance, ease of use and, most importantly, productivity for your entire organization," said Paul Stannard, CEO of SmartDraw. 18, 2011 - (PRNewswire) - SmartDraw Software, makers of the world's first visual processorâ„¢, today announced the release of its new SmartDraw 2012, featuring completely redesigned project management, new information hubs, powerful meeting management, and revamped timelines and org charts.
