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 a Concept Map

The graphical technique of knowledge representation in the form of structured networks of concepts (ideas) is called concept mapping. Concept network consists of shapes that represent concepts and connectors representing relationships between concepts. The difference between mind maps and concept maps is that a mind map has only one object depicting the main idea, while a concept map may have several. Concept mapping is used to structure ideas, to communicate a complex system of knowledge, to help the learning process, etc. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw concept maps using the Concept Map solution.

How to Create a Bubble Diagram

Bubble Diagram is a simple chart that consists of circles (bubbles) repesening certain topics or processes. Bubbles are connected by lines depicting the type of relationships between the bubbles. The size of each bubble is depended on the importance of the entity it represents. Bubble charts are widely used throughout social, economical, medical, and other scientific researches as well as throughout architecture and business management. Bubble charts are often used during the early stages of product development to visualize thoughts and ideas for the purpose of sketching out a development plan. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw a bubble diagrams using the Bubble Diagrams solution.

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 Make Network Diagram

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to represent and communicate network architecture, topology, and design to engineers, stakeholders, and end-users.
