Keep the Lines Connected

Using a palette of predefined shapes and arrows, FlowCharter allows diagrams and organization charts to be quickly created. A major feature of a flowcharting program is its ability to keep the lines connected to the boxes. If a box is moved, the line is moved with it. FlowCharter and other Micrografx products were acquired by Corel.
