CS-Odessa has announced an update to its standard and professional versions of ConceptDraw. The new version, 1.8, is available for download now.
ConceptDraw is a family of drawing and diagramming utilities designed for technical professionals. You can use the software for a variety of purposes ranging from simple flowchart creation to Web site maps, office layouts and more.
ConceptDraw 1.8 adds the ability to use XML — eXtensible Markup Language — in ConceptDraw creations. “XML lets users describe all necessary properties of ConceptDraw documents allowing a third-party application read ConceptDraw data without losing anything. Likewise, any other program can generate XML for ConceptDraw and describe its own documents in it. Then data from such program are easily visualized in ConceptDraw,” explained CS-Odessa.
Mac users can now copy and past objects across ConceptDraw applications. A number of minor bugs have been squashed in this version as well.
Available in its Standard form for US$125 and the Pro flavor for $249, ConceptDraw is also available for trial download — visit the Web site for details.
