--- Comment #3 from mrmister001 <[email protected]> --- Hi Heiko, Thanks for your reply. However I don't know if you understood the feature very well. You cannot compare this with templates or Smart Art, because it is not. To understand how an auntomatic flowchart works you must think in two columns, from a spreadsheet. Think in column A and column B. The idea behind this is that you draw boxes according the data provided in the column A And you link this data with the results provided in the column B If some data from column A (Source) is repeated... and match new data from column B (Tarfet), then we draw multiple boxes For example, let's imagine in column A (Source) we have a list of names, and in the column B (Target) we have a list of departments. Source Target John Sales Mike R+D Peter Sales Dana Accounting Richard Sales John Customer Service Peter Customer Service What will happen is due John is related to the Sales and also to the Customer Service, Draw will create two boxes, one indicating Sales and the other Customer Service, and both boxes will be connected to John, which will be represented also in a box. Mike for example, will be inside a box and will be connected with R+D which will be also inside a box. Mike won't have more connections because is not connected more new data. Peter will experience the same behavior as John, because he works in Sales and also in the Customer Service, so we will see how draw create a Box for Peter, and connect this box with two new boxes, one indicating Sales and the other Customer Service. Peter will be connected to these new boxes, thru lines. That is the sense behind automatic flowcharting. THERE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM THAT ALREADY DO THIS: YED (FROM YWORKS). It is made in Jave, and free to download. I really encourage everyone to understand how YED works and apply the same philoshopy to Draw. I remind also that Visio don't have this feature, so basically if this is implemented inside Draw, it would make Visio bleed deeply. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
