Advantages of Visio



The software has general drawing tools to accommodate any special needs you may have. You have the complete flexibility of getting productive quickly using standard templates. At the same time, the generalized drawing tools help you customizing the diagrams to your unique and specific needs.


The interface is quite intuitive. Templates make you productive very quickly and you are able to create professional documents without the help of draughtsman or CAD personnel. The software package itself costs much less than what a CAD tool for each specific category would cost.
