Bugs, bugs and more bugs. Bugs, bugs, and more bugs. Page orientation changes, I guess because it wants to. Fill, line, shape, magnification, and quite frankly just about everything else goes, yeah-na. I can't say anything good about this drawing software, especially compared to Visio. I might not be an architect but I am an engineer, just can't use this, I have to shut down often hoping to reset. Sorry, but for me this drawing software is not fit for purpose. By the way, it's these bad reviews that you 'Smartdraw' should be attending to, I note that your silence is deafening. I couldn't care less about the pricing, just wanted something that works, sorry, 'Smartdraw' doesn't.

Avoid at all cost. 2013 Smartdraw version. Of all the software packages I've used over the decades, this is the worst. Many bugs and deficiencies. I greatly regret having chosen this for software documenation as I now have to convert all my drawings to another drawing package. As for technical support....forget it.

Overpriced and the trial is terrible Overpriced and the trial is terrible, and doesn't offer all of Smartdraws capabilities. We did a trial document on this and couldn't even print it out to see what it look like, it says that there's a watermark on it but we couldn't get it to print out nor could we export it. We were still a day within our trial, but it was trying to force us to buy it. We're not buying anything we can't see on paper. It's one thing to look at it on the computer, another thing to look at the end product. Their trial is reasonable, but considering you have to pay all 12 months at once, there is other software out there that does the same thing, for a lot less. That means if you decide you don't like it after several months, you're still stuck paying for the whole entire year. At this point I wouldn't recommend it. Don't be fooled by all the biased reviews, many of those places are paid advertisers, be careful what you believe

Awful I am writing an essay for Uni and I drew a strategy map, using SmartDraw, took me 2 days, 2 days I don't really have, and when I reach the end, it has a stupid watermark, that makes it unusable for academic purposes. Awful experience, if it's going to have a watermark you have to tell us before we waste time on this. Will never ever use again and will not ever recomend it.

Complete garbage Unless you save every 6 minutes, the software will become buggy and completely mess up your design; IE - zoom feature will add a toilet every time you try and select zoom, walls will start adding arrows even though you have not selected to add arrows, Select and place a door and it will freeze the entire screen. Complete junk for the overly priced piece of garbage it is. Avoid this software.
