Did the free version and loved my .org chart! And paid the year fee!

I have been using smartdraw primarily for floor plans and product drawing in my Custom Furniture manufacturing business. Having To sketch drawings by hand has been cumbersome and time consuming. After some practice I can now sketch out an entire closet in a matter of minutes with 2d elevations. Has helped me save time and focus on other important aspects of running a busy business and saving me from having to employ a professional designer. I had to reluctantly switch from Mac to windows as smartdraw doesn’t run on Mac. Love the seamless capability of file conversion and ability to print to pdf easily. I’ve purchased the Cloud version as a back up so I don’t have to restrict myself to the windows desktop in cases where Minor changes need to be done fast. I just open it from the Mac or any pc access google drive and work. Cloud version needs good quality data connection to work well. Very happy with my purchase and will highly recommend Smartdraw to anyone.

This drawing software is the most versatile and user friendly I've ever used. It can replace the functionality of most commercial office software, and more easily converts into multiple formats.

Works great with other programs and presentation. Very easy to use. Looks very professional. Helped a lot with my job, in communication and reporting.

SmartDraw can be seen as just a way of exorting fees from unsuspecting buyer, but it value can significantly impact business product that involve designs. At the initial stage, to me it looks like i don't need this product for long term, not knowing that i was underutilize the product. SmartDraw products are efficient enough to get you done something you would employ a professional done for you at a bogus price.Meanwhile, following instructions will drive you from the begining until you complete the task involve and the outcome will look professional indeed. I hereby recommend any product of SmartDraw to whoever in business to patronize the company.

I've had this for a couple days when I needed to create a makeshift website using powerpoint with table of contents, timelines and some other graphics. But the possibilities with this program/software are ENDLESS. As a professional in real estate but also someone who works in communications - this is a fantastic to create engaging graphics, present data in a way that is interesting and unique. Easy to use (so far for the most part).

Started out as a great program in the trial phase. So I bought the stand alone version. Nearly $300. All of a sudden, drawings would close as if they had a mind of their own. The program would save some changes, but not the most recent. Then yesterday, it crashed again, for the "umpteenth" time, but this time the last 2-3 hours of critical work on a house design...GONE! Even knowing this program crashes more often than old Microsoft, I would hit the "Save" button. But instead of saving, it would ask you to "Save As" and give the file a new name. Even the libraries got themselves all jumbled. I'd open up the "Living Room" library and get "Entertainment". Open another library and get images from an unrelated library. So today SmartDraw disabled my program key without warning, said they're going to refund the purchase amount to my credit card, and all the work I've created so far is LOST. So be careful if you purchase the program. It crashes a lot. Your drawings may or may not be saved. The libraries of images are quirky at best. And if you plan on receiving any kind of explanation, don't. Good luck.

Just bought a second home and we have to furnish it. Was looking for a way to make a drawing to scale of each room. Within minutes, I was able to get the first room sketched out to scale with this intuitive program. I sent a copy of it to my designer who was blown away that he had exact dimensions of the rooms to work with. I haven't figured out how to color anything yet which would be helpful. If there were a way to turn my plans into a 3D view, that would be an amazing thing!
