Easily associate callouts with shapes to automatically display dimensions or other information already stored with the shape.The new XML file format enables interoperability with other XML-enabled applications and facilitates storage and exchange of diagram-based information, including data not associated with a page or shape.Over 90 new Automation properties and methods provide access to more Visio diagram data.Visio enables developers to extend and enhance Visio programmatically through COM add-ins.Microsoft Visio now incorporates technology for installing and maintaining Visio on thousands of desktopsThe Auto Update utility analyzes a user’s Visio installation, recommends relevant updates, and makes them immediately available for download and installation.Users can generate a complete report of all the links in a Web site, including broken links. The reporting tool can identify changes in a Web site since it was last diagrammed.For added assurance and diagnostic help, users can prompt Visio to automatically report application errors to Microsoft.Users can choose to save their current files at the time an error occurs in an application. As a result, users spend less time recreating their diagrams.Assemble physical and logical network diagrams using a wide variety of predefined SmartShapes symbols. Store equipment-specific details in custom property fields.Document Active Directory, Novell Directory Services, and LDAP-compliant directory services structuresAutomatically generate web site maps using the Map Web Site wizard. Easily visualize Web hierarchies and discover broken links.Create scaled drawings quickly, easily, and with complete accuracy. Drag door, window, and other shapes onto walls, and they rotate and snap into place. Adjust the placement of individual walls—doors, windows, and dimension lines move with them.Create floor plans, home plans, plant layouts, reflected ceiling plans, site plans, and the building services schematics that support them.Space planners, system integrators, and building engineers can design and manage complex building services schematics with unprecedented ease and powerful customization tools.Create electrical and electronic schematic diagrams and wiring diagrams. Hundreds of industry-standard shapes for circuits and logic, industrial control systems, and other electrical components take the work out of creating accurate schematics.Document fluid power control systems and hydraulic or pneumatic circuits with drag and drop ease. Snap together detailed, precise schematics using intelligent valve shapes. Or use the Valve Builder to automatically create a variety of valve shapes.Rapidly create part or detail drawings and assembly drawings for manufactured products. Quickly configure fastener shapes by specifying thread diameter, shaft length, and other properties. Use intelligent dimensioning shapes to show measurements.Produce detailed piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and process flow diagrams (PFDs) using hundreds of industry-specific shapes, including valves, equipment, instruments, and pipelines.Visio Professional 2002 contains all the business diagramming shapes and solutions found in Visio Standard 2002.Import and export standard CAD file formats, including DWG, DXF, and DGN.
