Dynamic Draw is a vector graphics editor useful for making flowcharts, line drawings, org charts, buttons, etc. It is an object-oriented drawing and design program with an intelligent linking system. It can export to other vector graphics formats such as SVG as well as non-vector graphics formats like JPG, TIFF, PNG, EMF, WMF, PSD, BMP, and PSD.
The program supports OLE allowing one to copy objects and paste to other OLE applications and vice versa, but the portable mode may experience issues with this.

seems like this program deals with the registry, it comes with some registry files and their contents hint that the registry gets modified a lot by this program...

Thanks for re-adding this great little app. I'll let the group know if it ever doesn't work on an OS that I am aware of. So far, so good.

NickR: Prefer LibreOffice's Drawing tool, which takes some getting used to but also does a bit more than Dia. It's also in active development.

Briefly used it to draw a complex diagram for a project at work. Seems powerful but usability and UI require getting used to. |
