In addition, we find the ability to save to .xml format very handy. The quality of the printed output is another extremely impressive bonus. We did not have to mess around with too many print settings. What we see on the screen is what we get."

"I was impressed by ConceptDraw fast and friendly interface", states Mr. Kaul, "it enables to concentrate on the creative process rather than on how to show this creative process. Moreover, the program allows you to instantly change the structure of the project, while preserving the need for previous versions of reasoning (the system has multiple pages in one project)."
Stanislav Kaul is a Physics Faculty Administrator, MSU in Russia.
