Gliffy.com

Yesterday, while pursuing some CSS bar graphs, I found Gliffy.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Visio. I actually own an older copy which I’ve enjoyed using in the past. So was pleased to find a Flash program (for free I might add) that had much of that same functionality.

Here is my master work: UCS Office

The snap-to-grid feature didn’t work as well as I had hoped. Objects didn’t seem to line up super well, and even while moving an object I wasn’t allowed to line some objects up.

However, overall I was very pleased with Gliffy. Even Visio isn’t really designed to be used for architectural drawings, so this is really fine. The templates provided were pretty good (though I couldn’t find a bookshelf … seriously). Again – was very impressed with the overall look and feel and functionality.

Now if only I could find a good reason to use it…
