Excellent Software

I use SmartDraw as a way of designing/explaining program and system architecture. I originally purchased it as a Viso replacement - and soon found it to be a better product (for what I am using it for. It is easy to use, very easy to adjust diagrams, etc.. I would recommend it!! Bradley MacDonald

SmartDraw is not compatible with Mojave…

SmartDraw is not compatible with Mojave and Safari versions and they won't definitively tell you that but their rep makes you feel like it's just you and your Mac.

I am not a professional, CAD is my hobby

It is very easy to use and have all kind of necessary applications. No hidden or monthly-yearly payments I hope some day could be possible update for a 3D version. Thank you guys for your brilliant program.

Great for Floor Planning and also Mind Maps

What do you like best? Easy to get into and start working. Some good features and it works very well for floor planning and also for making mind maps. What do you dislike? A bit of a resource hog. Can be a little hard to collaborate when comparing to other programs. Recommendations to others considering the product: Give the trial a go. You should be able to pick up on it pretty quickly and evaluate if it meets your needs. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits ...

I've had Smartdraw since 2013

I've had Smartdraw since 2013. If you asked me back then, I would've told you Smartdraw's the bomb but in 2019, it's old and trite and I barely use it. It's stuck in same boring 2d visuals while the rest of the world has moved to 3D and 3D rendering. I've asked when will they start making exciting 3D visuals but each update has the same outdated stuff ZZZZzzzzzzzz. Even Powerpoint has moved to loading in 3D images.If the next update has the same boring 2 dimensional visuals, I'm done.

Support is at least as good as the programs

I was looking for a CAD program to do a floor plan of my home in order to locate interferences. SmartDraw provides much more in many disciplines. Like any new program, the operator has to be patient to learn to locate the commands. The layout in SmartDraw makes learning easy to do.The second impressive feature of SmartDraw is support which is second to none. A person sending a question or request for help online expects to wait 1 to 2-business days. One to 2-minutes might be an exaggeration ...
