ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Compatibility with MS Visio

For those who are migrating from MS Visio to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, or for those who have colleagues and clients who use Visio, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is compatible with MS Visio.VSDX formatted files.VSDX is Visio’s open XML file format, and it can be easily imported and exported by ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.

Biology Symbols

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Biology solution from the Science and Education area offers a set of useful tools for fast and easy drawing of various biology illustrations and drawings.

Biology solution provides 3 libraries with large quantity of vector biology symbols: Biochemistry of Metabolism Library, Carbohydrate Metabolism Library, Citric Acid Cycle (TCA Cycle) Library.

Finite State Machine

You need design a Finite State Machine (FSM) diagram and dream to find a powerful software to make it easier? ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Specification and Description Language (SDL) Solution from the Industrial Engineering Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park is the best software for achievement this goal.
The vector stencils library "Network layout floorplan" contain 34 symbol icons for drawing computer network floor plans, communication equipment layouts, and structured cabling diagrams.
"Structured cabling is building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems. ...
Structured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify wiring data centers, offices, and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable, most commonly category 5e (CAT-5e), category 6 (CAT-6), and fibre optic cabling and modular connectors. These standards define how to lay the cabling in various topologies in order to meet the needs of the customer, typically using a central patch panel (which is normally 19 inch rack-mounted), from where each modular connection can be used as needed. Each outlet is then patched into a network switch (normally also rack-mounted) for network use or into an IP or PBX (private branch exchange) telephone system patch panel." [Structured cabling. Wikipedia]
The design elements example "Network layout floorplan - Vector stencils library" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Network Layout Floor Plans solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Network Diagramming Software for Design. Cisco Network Diagrams

Cisco Network Diagrams use Cisco network symbols to visualize the computer networks topology and equipment connections and arrangement. They are used by IT professionals and corporate IT departments, network and system administrators to visually document the topology and design of Cisco networks. Cisco has its own brand of network diagram icons. Cisco symbols are depicting network equipment, and connections lines where their style specifies the physical connection type. A Cloud icon represents the connection between external and internal networks without determining of outside network structure. If the same LAN designed with several appliances like PCs, a server and they connected to a switch and further connected to a router, which is linked to the Internet through the WAN. Various network diagrams may be depicted, for a LAN level with personal nodes or single physical devices, hubs or servers.

Financial Comparison Chart

This sample shows the Bar Chart of the leverage ratios for two major investment banks. The leverage ratio is the ratio of the total debt to the total equity; it is a measure of the risk taken by the bank. The higher of the leverage ratio denotes the more risk, the greater risks can lead to the subprime crisis.
