ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology
"Chain" Mode
How should diagramming software work? Is it possible to develop a diagram as quickly as the ideas come to you?
The innovative ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology included in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful drawing tool that changes the way diagrams are produced. While making the drawing process easier and faster.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful tool that helps you create a process map diagram quickly and easily. Fine-tuning the objects in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to create a really professional finished article. ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology gives drawing connectors a smart behavior that provides quick and precise placement, allows for easy changes and automatic rearrangement.
The "chain" mode connects every new shape to the previous one. If you want to create a new branch in your diagram, you just deselect the current chain and select the new shape, which will be the root for this branch, turn the "chain" mode on again and then continue adding shapes. The "chain" auto connection mode is convenient for drawing flowcharts and business process diagrams.

Sample 1. Concept map - Team psychological characteristics.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming software provides vector shapes and connector tools for quick and easy drawing diagrams for business, technology, science and education.
Use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM enhanced with solutions from ConceptDraw Solution Park to create diagrams to present and explain structures, process flows, logical relationships, networks, and other visually organized information and knowledge.
TEN RELATED HOW TO's:
Cross-Functional Flowchart →
There are many tools to manage a process or to illustrate an algorithm or a workflow. Flowcharting is one of those tools. However, it may be difficult to show complex processes that require multiple attributes or several people in a simple flowchart, so a cross-functional flowchart would be a solution for that situation. To create such flowchart, group processes and steps to labeled rows or columns, and divide those groups with horizontal or vertical parallel lines. It is worth mentioning that there are different types of cross-functional flowcharts, like opportunity or deployment flowchart. This diagram shows a cross-functional flowchart that was made for a trading process. It contains 14 processes, distributed through 5 lines depicting the participants who interact with the process. Also there are connectors that show the data flow of information between processes. The cross-functional flowchart displays a detailed model of the trading process, as well as all participants in the process and how they interact with each other. The lines in the flowchart indicates the position, department and role of the trading process participants.
HVAC Marketing Plan →
Usually for drawing HVAC plans you need make a lot of efforts and spend a considerable amount of time. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software will help you radically change this. HVAC Marketing Plan design without efforts? It is reality with HVAC Plans Solution from the Building Plans Area of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Solution Park.
Mac OS GUI Software →
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Mac OS User Interface Solution from the Software Development area is a powerful Mac OS GUI Software
Business Process Flowchart →
Cross-functional (deployment) flowcharts visualize what functional units (people, departments or functional areas) are responsible for the business process operations. The flowcharts are divided into rows/columns of functional units. Blocks of various shapes represent the process steps, and are placed in rows/columns of the responsible functional units.
