Do Visio Diagrams For Free with Project Draw

Every once in a while, I need to create a Visio-like line drawing. Sometimes it's to make a flowchart, or perhaps to sketch out a complicated project schedule. That said, I don't especially care for Visio; it's unnecessarily complicated, and it costs money. Now, though, I can use Project Draw, a free Web app from Autodesk.

Check out this video that gives you the nickel tour:


I love Project Draw. It has a simple and understandable array of tools, it's flexible enough for almost any drawing project I can imagine needing to do, and you can export your finished project in a number of formats including PDF and JPG. You can even use it offline, thanks to Google Gears support. Read more at Project Draw's Web page.
