Version: SmartDraw 2009 2009.7
"Excellent program! Capable of way more than I need"
Pros: Very easy to use and the end result is very professional. I have been able to design restaurant layouts with real life dimensions, verus the caveman sketches I use to create for my employees, designers, architects and GC's.
Cons: At first, because it's capable of so much, it takes me about 5 minutes to get myself on track. It truely does way more than I would ever need it for. (That's actually a good thing, I guess)
Summary: I am not a technical person at all, but after someone told me about this program, I tried it out and saved thousands on design, consultant and architectural costs. I use to spend a lot of money on color renderings of restaurant locations that I would present to investors. This program allows me to create the floorplan I want, in the actual restaurant footprint, with all the realistic dimensions. It also has been a savior in relaying my thoughts and ideas to designers and architects. Bravo, SmartDraw.
