Microsoft Visio 2019 Professional
Even in the Professional 2019 edition, Microsoft Visio remains the best tool for designing diagrams in companies and is based on common industry standards such as IEEE. In addition, Microsoft has made thousands of detailed improvements and introduced new features, especially to make it easier to work on projects in larger teams. The software is therefore explicitly aimed at professional users. Nevertheless, the familiar, easy entry into the program remains, which is achieved primarily through countless templates and the proven Office interface. Every buyer continues to receive 2 GB of free storage space with Microsoft’s cloud solution OneDrive.
Generating diagrams is possible in Microsoft Visio Professional 2019 immediately after starting the program: hundreds of templates based on a selection of more than 250,000 shapes ensure this. Since the desktop application is constantly updating itself, new templates are added regularly. Users then share finished diagrams not only as Visio data sets, but also over the Internet: Visio Professional 2019 supports web-based representations of diagrams or output as a PDF file for users who do not use Visio on their device. Comments that other users then leave in the diagram are also immediately visible to the creator of the project and thus receive feedback.
Specifically for Visio Professional 2019 and Windows 10, Microsoft has also improved support for touch input and pens such as the Microsoft Surface Pen. This allows you to refine diagrams using natural input methods, using virtual ink or your fingers to color, move shapes, and rearrange diagrams. This also makes it easier to use the program on a tablet such as the iPad Pro, for which a separate app is available in the official Apple Store. To better collaborate with other people, annotation features have been improved and Skype for Business’ integration into the program’s interface has been expanded.
New data is imported directly into Microsoft Visio Professional 2019 from popular other programs such as Excel. This saves time when editing charts as manual entries become less frequent. To then enrich the diagrams with life and to display even large amounts of information, countless colors, shapes and graphics are available to focus on the data that is important to the viewer. Additionally, the program supports the integration of drawings created in the popular AutoCAD software. This also expands the range of functions considerably, as even complex shapes are possible.
Additionally, whenever data of any kind that was previously integrated into the diagram changes, Microsoft Visio Professional 2019 will immediately change the appearance of the project. To do this, the program constantly scans the integrated data – regardless of where it comes from and whether it is available locally or in the network – and then immediately passes on changes to the current diagram. This means that everyone working on this project always has an overview and works together on a single version of this diagram. Avoiding manual updates also makes the work process easier and saves a lot of time in the long run.
Microsoft developed Visio Professional 2019 so that it is only compatible with one of the editions of Windows 10 and Windows 10S. It is not possible to run the software on an older version of Windows. Furthermore, this offer is a product key for a desktop PC or notebook. There are no additional subscription costs. Microsoft guarantees to provide this software with updates for at least five years.
