MS Visio Look a Like Diagrams
|
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software, being a great alternative to MS Visio on Mac, supports import of MS Visio files as well as swim-lane diagrams, flowcharts, project charts, orgcharts, cause-and-effect diagrams, decision tree charts, graphs, schemes, maps, plans and many other diagram types, which all can be created within a short period of time having the solutions available to be downloaded from ConceptDraw STORE. Let’s imagine you created some network diagram in order to describe the existing network structure. Physical network diagram is known to be used for presenting Telecommunications data (such as cable length) carrying a capacity or telecommunication type, servers with names, IP address (if it’s static), server role as well as domain name, location of network equipment (such as hubs, switches, modems, routers, bridges and printers) and the number of network users. You can always continue improving the way this diagram looks, importing it to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and so, using the existing tools, which can be found in the so called “solutions” from ConceptDraw STORE. In this way, you can always make it possible to make the already made diagram look so much better, exploring the stencil libraries and picking the great as well as professionally looking design symbols for completing the drawing. Same about making other drawings. You can make Process and Instrumentation Drawing, Process Flow Diagram, EPC Diagram, Basic Flowchart, TQM Diagram, Cause and Effect Diagram, ER Diagram, Cross-Functional Flowchart, Fault Tree Analysis Diagram, Audit Diagram, Sales Flowchart, Work Flow Diagram, Data Flow Diagram, Accounting Flowcharts, as well as many more other ones, using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software, exporting them to MS Visio, if needed, after. In order to create diagram in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM you can, first of all, open a new document in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software, select one of the existing libraries from the needed solution, which can be found and so downloaded from ConceptDraw STORE. Then add any needed elements to the diagram by dragging them from the stencil library from the chosen solution to your document page. Add the next object by clicking on its icon from the “RapidDraw arrows” that pop up immediately when you bring the mouse cursor over the chosen object, modifying them any time you need by using the “Action button menu”. Once your diagram is done, you can then save it in the needed format as well as export it for using in the other applications, such as MS Visio.  Drawing Diagrams FastThe innovative “ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology” included in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application makes it a powerful drawing software that changes the way diagrams, charts, flowcharts, maps and other drawings can be produced, making the drawing process simpler and faster. Starting using it, you will find the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application a powerful diagramming software that can help you to create the professional looking drawings using the well-designed objects from the design symbols libraries. In this way, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software allows you to focus on work, not on the drawing process itself. Having ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology means being able to draw the connectors with the smart behaviour that gives flexibility to your work process while creating MS Visio look alike diagrams on your Mac. What makes ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software so special is an access to lots and lots of the solutions, which all can be found in ConceptDraw STORE — the new product of CS Odessa, developed for enabling all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users to make their drawings within a short period of time. Thus, every user has a chance to download ConceptDraw STORE from this site and so to get the solution they need to be able to use the pre-made design elements and previously created examples and templates of so many different flowcharts, charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, schemes and other drawings to use them as drafts, for example. |
All solutions from ConceptDraw STORE are divided into areas, such as: Computer and Networks area includes “Active Directory Diagrams”, “AWS Architecture Diagrams”, “Azure Architecture”, “Cisco Network Diagrams”, “Computer Network Diagrams”, “Google Cloud Platform”, “Interactive Voice Response Diagrams”, “Network Layout Floor Plans”, “Rack Diagrams”, “Telecommunication Network Diagrams”, “Cloud Computing Diagrams”, “Network Security Diagrams”, “Vehicular Networking” and “Wireless Networks” solutions. At the same time the so called “Business Process” area of ConceptDraw STORE includes “Basic EPC Diagrams”, “Business Process Model and Notation”, “Classic Business Process Modelling”, “Process Flowcharts”, “Workflow Diagrams”, “Business Intelligence Dashboard”, “Business Process Diagrams”, “Business Process Mapping”, “Business Process Workflow Diagrams”, “Cross-Functional Flowcharts”, “Event-driven Process Chain Diagrams EPC”, “IDEF Business Process Diagrams”, “Logistic Dashboard” and “Logistics Flow Charts” solutions.
Sample 1. MS Visio look a like diagrams on Mac: Network topology diagram
Sample 2. MS Visio look a like diagrams on Mac: Business Process diagram
To compare ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and MS Visio, it’s obviously that the first one is more convenient in use and, providing the pre-made examples and templates makes ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application a better tool as having the previously created samples means having them as the users’ drafts for drawing their own great looking as well as professional charts, flowcharts, maps, diagrams and other schematics of different complexity. Having the stencil libraries full of design elements, which can be found and downloaded from Solution Park on this site as well as from ConceptDraw STORE, means having enough tools for making the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users’ drawing smart enough to look as if the professional designer made those plans, schemes, charts and flowcharts. You can always import the files created in MS Visio to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM to continue working with them and to improve their content. So, it will help the MS Visio users to slowly get used to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM as a better and more convenient software.

Swim Lane Diagrams →
Job duties in small companies are usually spread randomly among workers, causing lots of problems and misunderstanding. One of the ways to restore order in business processing is to create a cross-functional flowchart with swim lanes that would represent every step in production system. Another advantage of using swim lanes flowchart is that it represents not only processes, but people responsible for them. Swim lane diagram is a kind of a process flow diagram. Its special feature is that it joins the features of process flow diagrams with organizational charts. Thus, a swim lane diagram display a participant of the business process in a conjunction with general flow of the business system. A swim lane diagram is looks similar to a swimming pool's lanes. Lanes can be horizontal and vertical. The lanes are pointed out relatively to resource name, which is assigned on implementation of the given part of the business process. ConceptDraw Business Process Mapping solution delivers the ability to design develop swim lanes flowcharts using the vector graphic objects of Swim Lanes library.
Swim Lane Flowchart Symbols →
Use the set of special professionally developed swim lane flowchart symbols - single, multiple, vertical and horizontal lanes from the Swimlanes and Swimlanes BPMN 1.2 libraries from the Business Process Diagram solution, the Swim Lanes library from the Business Process Mapping solution as the perfect basis for your Swim Lane Flowcharts of processes, algorithms and procedures.
Purposes of a Value Stream Management Tool →
ConceptDraw Value Stream Maps visualize for a manufacturing plant the material and information flow required to deliver a product/service to customers.
Design Pictorial Infographics. Design Infographics →
In the course of recent decades data visualization went through significant development and has become an indispensable tool of journalism, business intelligence and science. The way visual information may be conveyed is not limited simply to static or dynamic representation, it can also be interactive. Infographics can be conditionally divided into several general levels. Primarily, this is level of visualization of information, its interpretation and association on any ground. Second level can be defined as a visualization of knowledge, depiction of thoughts and ideas in the form of images or diagrams. Finally, the level of data visualization, which processes data arrays in charts, enabling the information to be more clearly perceived. You can also identify the main approaches to the creation of infographics: exploratory and narrative. Exploratory method insists on minimalist design in favor of data precision without unnecessary details and is common for scientific researches and ana
Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Software →
Plumbing systems are very important for any manufacture, and it's a good practice to have a clear scheme of that system. To create one, you should use a piping and instrumentation diagram software with a possibility to save files in vector format, so you can print them without quality loss. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a great tool for creating diagrams, and you don't need to be very experienced to use it efficiently. This example of Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) depicts a scheme that illustrates the physical sequence and functional communications of piping, instrumentation and plumbing equipment components of a typical food trailer. Seeking to avoid health troubles in a mobile food service , the plumbing demands for food trailers must be considered accurately. This P&ID shows all of piping including a basic set of piping system components along with multiple sinks, extra water heaters and other elements to meet health guidelines.
