Smart Shapes & Connectors
Shapes that think for themselves
Smart shapes adapt themselves intelligently according to match type of diagram and neighboring shapes.


Text to Shape when writing trumps drawing
Enter text when it's difficult to draw. Complex shapes can be generated out of text where it makes sense.
Smart shapes for UI Mockups, UML and more
Smart shapes adapt themselves according to where they are placed within a diagram. They can be easily configured with properties.


Connector types that match connected objects
Connectors figure out which lines and styles match the linked shape and present a quick list to pick from.
