How to Create a Floor Plan Using ConceptDraw PRO

Making a floor plan is the best way to get a handle on how to organize your living space, and find out what could be changed. Creating a floor plan to scale is a challenge of the home and interior design process and can be noticeably helpful for visualizing things like furniture layout. You can use ConceptDraw PRO to produce layouts of real estate properties. ConceptDraw PRO contains the large quantity of pre-designed vector objects that you can use for quick and easy designing such floor plans. You  can easily determine the size of the rooms and distances in you drawing. The ability to create a floor plan is delivered by the Floor Plans solution. This solution extends ConceptDraw PRO with libraries that contains over 500 objects of floor plan elements. There is a set of special objects that displays the sizes, corners, squares and other technical details using the current measurements of units.
The vector stencils library "Map symbols" contains 19 symbols for labeling the maps.
The pictograms example "Map symbols - Vector stencils library" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Directional Maps solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library Map symbols contains 19 icons for labeling the maps using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
The vector stencils library Subway map contains 41 shapes for creating the subway (tube, metro) maps using the ConceptDraw PRO.
"The various features shown on a map are represented by conventional signs or symbols. For example, colors can be used to indicate a classification of roads. Those signs are usually explained in the margin of the map, or on a separately published characteristic sheet.
Some cartographers prefer to make the map cover practically the entire screen or sheet of paper, leaving no room "outside" the map for information about the map as a whole. These cartographers typically place such information in an otherwise "blank" region "inside" the map -- cartouche, map legend, title, compass rose, bar scale, etc. In particular, some maps contain smaller "sub-maps" in otherwise blank regions—often one at a much smaller scale showing the whole globe and where the whole map fits on that globe, and a few showing "regions of interest" at a larger scale in order to show details that wouldn't otherwise fit."

How to Change Measurement Units in ConceptDraw Drawing

There are different units of measurement that can be used for length dimensions. When making scaled drawing we can't keep in mind just meters, centimeters, and milimeters ; we also need remember about yards, feets and inches . This is because the United States applies its own system of measurement units, while the rest of the world employs metric measurement units. ConceptDraw PRO enables choosing the most suitable units of measurement with just one click.

The vector stencils library "Marketing charts" contains 12 graphs and charts: area chart, column chart, divided bar diagram, histogram, horizontal bar graph, line graph, pie chart, ring chart, scatter plot.
Use it to create your marketing infograms.
"A chart can take a large variety of forms, however there are common features that provide the chart with its ability to extract meaning from data.
Typically the data in a chart is represented graphically, since humans are generally able to infer meaning from pictures quicker than from text. Text is generally used only to annotate the data.
One of the more important uses of text in a graph is the title. A graph's title usually appears above the main graphic and provides a succinct description of what the data in the graph refers to.
Dimensions in the data are often displayed on axes. If a horizontal and a vertical axis are used, they are usually referred to as the x-axis and y-axis respectively. Each axis will have a scale, denoted by periodic graduations and usually accompanied by numerical or categorical indications. Each axis will typically also have a label displayed outside or beside it, briefly describing the dimension represented. If the scale is numerical, the label will often be suffixed with the unit of that scale in parentheses. ...
The data of a chart can appear in all manner of formats, and may include individual textual labels describing the datum associated with the indicated position in the chart. The data may appear as dots or shapes, connected or unconnected, and in any combination of colors and patterns. Inferences or points of interest can be overlaid directly on the graph to further aid information extraction.
When the data appearing in a chart contains multiple variables, the chart may include a legend (also known as a key). A legend contains a list of the variables appearing in the chart and an example of their appearance. This information allows the data from each variable to be identified in the chart." [Chart. Wikipedia]
