What's new in SmartDraw 2013
SmartShare cloud service
With the new SmartShare cloud service, you can store all of your SmartDraw visuals on the web and access and share them anywhere - including on the iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices.
Access files anywhere - the SmartDraw files you save on your PC are also saved to your account on SmartShare - so they're always backed up.
Share files with anyone - share your files with anyone you choose - they can view and interact with a full-sized image on the web or any mobile device.
Share action items - instantly send action items you create in project and meeting charts directly to the people assigned to complete them.
Take your presentation everywhere - send your presentation to SmartShare then present it from any device - even a phone.
Great for teams - control who can view and edit your files with built-in permissions. Any changes made get automatically and immediately updated.
Smart visuals
Through the creation of smart visuals, SmartDraw makes it fast and simple to capture and share important information like never before. Enhance meetings and project planning with built-in task assignment, notification and tracking. Add links, notes and attachments to any visual, creating picture portals, which are visual gateways to virtually any information, anywhere.
Picture portals - SmartDraw's Picture Portals are intuitive, hyperlinked maps, visual diagrams, floor plans and other graphics that provide a gateway directly to important information. Smart visuals can be linked to any Office document, PDF file, web page, or another SmartDraw file.
Enhanced project planning capabilities - create and share a project plan using new SmartShare functionality. Create and assign tasks via email and update task status, progress and completion from any mobile device.
Host better meetings - capture action items, tasks, decisions and notes during meetings and share them via SmartShare.
Easily create PowerPoint presentations - use the new 'build to PowerPoint' button to easily build a slide deck from a series of SmartDraw visuals.

Complete Office Integration
SmartDraw includes a dedicated set of controls for optimising your graphics for PowerPoint, integrating your diagrams into Microsoft Office, importing and exporting project charts from Microsoft Project, importing Visio files and checking in/out support for SharePoint.
Instant Graphic Design
A professionally-designed graphic theme, specifying colours, line and type style, is automatically applied to each graphic. Select and change the theme with a single click.
Project management
Create project charts that automatically adjust and reformat as you add new tasks or change the duration of existing tasks. Use the assignment view to see who is doing what and their progress or generate mind map or timeline views to get an outline of the project.
Assisted Flowcharting
Build flowcharts by clicking simple commands, rather than manually arranging and connecting shapes on the page. Lines are drawn automatically, and formatting is automatic with shapes evenly spaced and perfectly aligned.
Express Charting
Create charts and graphs without having to make a spread sheet first. Simply pick a chart and type your data directly into the bars. You can even drag the bars to represent the right values.
Image Charts
Use pictures and images to display your information instead of standard bars, lines, and circles. Create image charts in seconds by dragging any image�even a photo�onto your chart, and watch your data come alive.
Live Maps
Capture live data from the Internet to incorporate roads, regions, counties, zip codes, countries and even satellite images from across the globe into your illustrations�all as separate, editable elements and easily plot data onto maps.
Integrated Photo Capability
Built-in photo-software functionality allows you to import images directly from your digital camera or other source, crop and scale, adjust colour and brightness, and drop them into org charts or any other illustration.
Meeting automation
Meeting templates let you capture and assign tasks in real-time. Start with a Meetings template and simply add attendees and task to set your agenda. During the meeting, you can quickly and easily set the status of each task and see their progress with colour coded icons to indicate any task that's late or complete.
Timelines
Create timelines by adding events and tasks. Items are automatically positioned and formatted so they line up correctly and never overlap.
Software and website design
Build software design diagrams with a range of included templates including UML and design websites with wire frame mock ups.
