Sinopsis

Humans are visual creatures, so it isn’t surprising that we visualize and communicate our ideas, designs, and
final products graphically. In the past, high-quality graphics were the work of professional graphic artists and illustrators, but with Visio 2003, anyone can produce informative and attractive diagrams, drawings, and models. Visio is so straightforward that you can use it to capture the fast-paced output of brainstorming sessions or the frequent changes made to initial designs and models. At the same time, Visio is powerful enough to develop sophisticated models, and precise enough to document the details of existing systems.
 

Visio 2003 is like a good friend with expertise in dozens of fields. It jumpstarts your efforts with solutions designed specifically to produce different types of drawings. Visio templates set up your work environment with menus of specialized tools, sets of predefined shapes, and drawing settings such as page size and orientation typical for the type of drawing you want to create. Visio stencils categorize thousands of predefined symbols by industry, drawing type, and application. These Visio SmartShapes have built-in behaviors and properties to help you quickly assemble drawings and collect information.
 

Simplicity and convenience are key to Visio’s power. To construct a drawing, you drag and drop predrawn shapes from stencils onto drawing pages. Defining relationships between shapes is as easy as dropping one shape onto another or dragging and dropping connectors onto shapes. Specialized tools help lay out drawings and perform typical tasks. The simplicity of integrating Visio with tools such as Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Adobe Framemaker, and database management systems makes it easy to maintain drawings and documentation of systems.
