This is a great drawing package. I've used Visio before, and SmartDraw can go toe-to-toe with it. Visio has some automation features which can be nice if you have all of the MS suite of tools plugged in with it, but if you are creating a drawing from scratch, this product is extremely friendly to use.
I needed to create a flowchart (which was 12 pages written) and this tool made it very easy to put it all together quickly. It has way more templates than I'll ever use (everything from landscaping and blueprints to mind maps, etc.
I use it for network diagrams and flowcharts mostly, but have been extremely happy with how easy it is to use and share documents. Thumbs up!

Microsoft Visio Professional 2007 Review

Microsoft Visio Professional 2007

I been using Visio Enterprise 2003 for the last 3 years with Sql Server 2000. My only use of visio relates to database modeling. Once the drawing is been approved, I simply used "Update" option to update database. The update option is a time saving feature in a rapid application development environment for changing relationship, keys and constraints. Writing those changes back to Sql Server is a smooth process.
Recently i changed my development environment to SQL Server 2005 and figured out that Visio 2003 Enterprise does not work with SQL Server 2005. So I decided to buy visio professional 2007 to use the single feature of database modeling.
Upon installation, I figured that there is no option for writing changes back to SQL Server 2005 in either version of Visio (2003 Enterprise, 2007 Professional). In simple there is no "update" or "generate" command in visio professional 2007.
Put it simple. If you want to use database modeling and hoping to write those changes back to SQL Server 2005 with visio, DON'T BUT IT......IT WILL NOT WORK
