What I love - I can create shapes/Logos/House plans and store them in a visual library for re-use in the future. I can save the plan to a rough CAD plan that a drafts person can trace over and or get exact dimenetions. I can make changes to a house plan on the phone to the client at the time. SD does a great to excellent job! For house plans it is far-far easier than learning/using CAD. I've used this program for housing plans/design creation, infographics/web, logo's. I have been using Smart draw for the last 9 years and have had a lot of mileage out of it.
