An Awesome means of Getting it Done!!!

SmartDraw can be seen as just a way of exorting fees from unsuspecting buyer, but it value can significantly impact business product that involve designs. At the initial stage, to me it looks like i don't need this product for long term, not knowing that i was underutilize the product. SmartDraw products are efficient enough to get you done something you would employ a professional done for you at a bogus price.Meanwhile, following instructions will drive you from the begining until you ...

Started out as a great program in the…

Started out as a great program in the trial phase. So I bought the stand alone version. Nearly $300. All of a sudden, drawings would close as if they had a mind of their own. The program would save some changes, but not the most recent. Then yesterday, it crashed again, for the "umpteenth" time, but this time the last 2-3 hours of critical work on a house design...GONE! Even knowing this program crashes more often than old Microsoft, I would hit the "Save" button. But instead of saving, it ...

Help Visualizing My New House

Just bought a second home and we have to furnish it. Was looking for a way to make a drawing to scale of each room. Within minutes, I was able to get the first room sketched out to scale with this intuitive program. I sent a copy of it to my designer who was blown away that he had exact dimensions of the rooms to work with. I haven't figured out how to color anything yet which would be helpful. If there were a way to turn my plans into a 3D view, that would be an amazing thing!

SmartDraw is very aptly named

SmartDraw is very aptly named - it is smart, intuitive and so user friendly. I have no CAD experience, but I'm fairly computer savvy, and I can navigate the tools in SmartDraw easily. SmartDraw is so FUN to use and makes SO much sense. And for my application (drawing a home design floor plan I have found that your library of fixtures, appliances, furnishings is very comprehensive! And I have been super impressed with the customer service - from the moment I reached out to get pricing ...

14 years and on

I started using SmartDraw in 04 and have always found it as user friendly, powerful tool and new releases always addressing the user community. Then we moved to a multiuser license and all users had the same reaction. Now that I am semiretired and doing consulting my first purchase as SmartDraw to assist me with my project. Wonderful support, user friendly recommend it everyone

Electricial Drawings

I have been searching for a drawing program that was not Auto CAD due to the pricing. I have looked at the free programs and you get what you pay for. This program offers the necessary templates for several different trades. Being in the electrical industry it has been a hassle to find the correct templates and Smart Draw offers all of the ones that I need. It also offers the electronic templates as well. These two fields are similar but not the same. Both are available. This program also ...

Absolutely the Best Customer Support, EVER

I was in urgent need of an Org Chart for a big-deal presentation. Tried the PowerPoint tool-too much data entry. Tried the Visio upload from Excel-too difficult to manage the boxes. Went on line and found SmartDraw. Simple interface-easy to use, but, I ran into a snag so called the support number, frankly not expection much, since I was using the free version. The phone call was answered immediately. The agent understood my problem on the first pass, and helped me create a professional and ...
