How to Edit Grouped Objects on Mac

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM offers a range of built-in facilities in order to enable you to quickly edit any diagram or other visualization made using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, or MS Visio. Grouping shapes, pictures, or objects lets you style, format, rotate, and move them together, as though they were a single object.

How to Edit Grouped Objects on PC

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows one to group objects. Grouping shapes, pictures, or objects lets you style, format, rotate, and move them together, as though they were a single object. At the same time, you can edit each of them separately.

How to Edit Text on PC

There are several types of text, which is usually contained in the drawing: diagram element signs, stand-alone text blocks, document title, and comments. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM offers a range of tools enabling you to easily edit text placed in objects or on a document page. Read in this article how to add and edit text in a ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Windows version.

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 Draw a Circular Arrows Diagram

The cyclic recurrence is a fundamental property of multiple systems. The cycle is a process which consists of elements (phases, stages, stages) following each other. Many processes in astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc. have a cycle properties. It is also widely used in information technologies and marketing analysis. Graphical representation of cyclic processes can have many forms. It can be a circle, parabola, hyperbola, ellipse, and others. A Circular Arrows Diagram is used as one of the statistical charts in the business, mass media and marketing. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM provides tools for making easy drawing Circular Arrows Diagrams.

How to Change the Measurement Units and Drawing Scale

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM enables choosing the most suitable scale and units of measurement with just one click.
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 millimeters; we also need to remember about yards, feet, 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. This article explains how you can change the scale and measurement units in a ConceptDraw DIAGRAM drawing.

How to Reshape an Object Using Vertex Tool on PC

Create your own custom objects using the elements of Basic Shapes library. To create complex objecrts or change existing ones in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM , you can use
the Vertex tool. Using vertexes you can modify the geometry of any object in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.

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.

How to Open Visio® VDX File Using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

MS Visio file with the extention.VDX can be created with the MS Visio 2003-2007. It is a filename extension for the MS Visio XML drawing file format. MS Visio 2010 and earlier versions support reading and writing files in a binary VSD or xml-based VDX file formats. Since MS Visio 2013 drawing files are written in the new VSDX and VSDM file formats. The writing VDX files is no longer supported. If you used MS Visio 2003-2010 before and now is considering to switch to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, maybe this is a good news - ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is still supported reading and writing of Microsoft Visio XML file format. Thus replacing the diagramming software , allows to keep all your drawings, created in the old versions of MS Visio. Making business drawings with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is easier than using MS Visio. Moreover, you will be able to use a huge number of business-oriented libraries supplied by ConceptDraw Solution Park. Also, using ConceptDraw you can create your custom objects and supplement libraries to cover your requirements.
