Draw diagrams faster with improved automatic features with Microsoft Visio 2010. Whether you are creating a diagram from scratch, or modifying an existing diagram, Visio 2010 helps you add and align shapes easily and accurately with features such as the Quick Shapes Mini Toolbar, enhanced dynamic grid, page Auto Size, and automatic alignment and layout adjustment. Add clarity to diagrams using Sub processes and Containers to group related shapes visually and logically. As a diagram grows larger or becomes more complex, Sub processes and Containers help you to keep information more organized and understandable.
