How to Add and Edit Connector Text

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM gives you some tools for connecting shapes: Direct Connectors, Smart, Arc, Bezier, Curve and Round Connectors. Direct Connectors are direct lines from the point to the point. Smart, Arc, Bezier, Curve and Round Connectors are almost the same as Direct Connectors. However, they automatically move around other objects. You can use Chain, or Tree connection mode for connection of multiple objects with any type of connectors. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to add and move text on a connector the same way that you add and move text on other any object.

How to Create an SDL Diagram

Specification and Description Language (SDL) is intended to describe systems that switched state often and rapidly. An SDL diagram is a view of a system, that can depict a single process or complex relationships between a number of elements. The SDL diagram supports a nested hierarchy. A system is divided into blocks, each of them can be described as a process until finally, one can see the initial procedures that make up each process. The advantage of this method is that a system can be viewed in a manageable part that can be followed separately. ConceptDraw Specification and Description Language solution contains the library, with an SDL notation in a vector stencil graphics. The SDL solution also provides a set of samples, to show the level of hierarchical detail that is possible.

Swim Lane Diagrams

Swim Lane diagrams are the variety of process flow diagrams and are based on the IDEF3 standard. They were developed by Lynn Shostack for usage in projecting. With their help organization diagrams are combined with process flow, as they visually display an object of the production system which is charged with given concrete processes in general flow of processes of the production system.

How to Draw a Pyramid Diagram

Pyramid diagram (triangle diagram) is used to represent data, which have hierarchy and basics. Due to the triangular form of a diagram, each pyramid section has a different width. The width of the segment shows the level of its hierarchy. Typically, the top of the pyramid is the data that are more important than the base data. A pyramid scheme can be used to show proportional and hierarchical relationships between some logically related items, such as departments within an organization, or successive elements of any process. This type of diagram is often used in marketing to display hierarchically related data, but it can be used in a variety of situations. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to make a pyramid diagram, quickly and easily using special libraries.

"Functional decomposition refers broadly to the process of resolving a functional relationship into its constituent parts in such a way that the original function can be reconstructed (i.e., recomposed) from those parts by function composition. In general, this process of decomposition is undertaken either for the purpose of gaining insight into the identity of the constituent components (which may reflect individual physical processes of interest, for example), or for the purpose of obtaining a compressed representation of the global function, a task which is feasible only when the constituent processes possess a certain level of modularity (i.e., independence or non-interaction). Interactions between the components are critical to the function of the collection. All interactions may not be observable, but possibly deduced through repetitive perception, synthesis, validation and verification of composite behavior." [Functional decomposition. Wikipedia]
The example "IDEF0 diagram - Decomposition structure" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the solution "IDEF Business Process Diagrams" from the area "Business Processes" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

How to Create a Venn Diagram

Venn diagrams were invented by John Venn as a method of depicting relationships between different components. A Venn diagram consists of two or more circles. Each circle represents a specific group or set. The entities which are depicted by circles generally have some common characteristics. A Venn Diagram shows all the possible logical relations between these entities. Any properties that belong to more than one set should be indicated in the sections where the circles overlap. A Venn Diagram can be useful to visually summarize the status and future viability of a project. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to make Venn diagrams using the Venn Diagrams solution.

How to Create a BPMN Diagram

Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a method of illustrating business processes in the form of a diagram. The most effective method of creating or analyzing a business process is to visually interpret the steps using a business process diagram, flowchart or workflow. This is known as business process modeling and will be performed within a company by a team who have detailed knowledge of company process, and analysts with expertise in the modeling discipline. The objective is often to increase production or lower costs — by modeling the process initially using a flowchart, inefficiencies and problems can be spotted before committing to a decision or strategy. You can create BPMN diagrams using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming tools. ConceptDraw has designed a solution that combines BPMN v2.0 methodology and graphical notification into one powerful package. The Business Process Diagrams solution from ConceptDraw Solution Park provides a comprehensive collection of vector
