Draw Diagrams Faster

• Whether you're creating a diagram from scratch or modifying an existing one, Visio 2010 helps you add and align shapes easily and accurately with features such as the Quick Shapes Mini Toolbar, Page Auto Size, and Auto Align & Space.

Simplify Large and Complex Diagrams

Model and Monitor Sharepoint Workflows

• Create and monitor SharePoint workflows more easily with a new, advanced template that contains SharePoint workflow rules, and supports exporting and importing workflows between Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2010.

Ensure Consistency and Accuracy With Diagram Validation

• Check for common errors and support diagramming standards across your organization using diagram validation. With one click, you can validate a diagram against a set of rules to make sure it's logical and properly constructed.

Bring Your Diagrams to Life With Dynamic, Data-Driven Visuals

• Gaining a clear and complete view of information that matters to your business requires both a high-level perspective and detailed data. With just a few clicks, Visio 2010 helps you see the entire picture by showing meaningful information and data graphically in a single, always up-to-date diagram.


• Easily connect your diagrams to one or more data sources including Microsoft Excel, SQL Server, and SharePoint Services, using the Data Selector and Automatic Link wizards.


• Display real-time data right within diagram shapes, based on conditions you define, using expressive graphics such as color, icons, symbols, and data bars. Then, add a legend to explain the meaning of your data-linked graphics.


• Keep the linked data in your diagrams up-to-date effortlessly using Automatic Refresh, which can refresh data automatically at specific time intervals you set.

Share Diagrams With Others on the Web

• Sharing your interactive, refreshable, data-linked diagrams with others is easier than ever. With just a few clicks, publish your diagram to SharePoint Server. Users can see your real-time information in their browsers at a high level, right on the diagram, or delve into the details--even if they don't own Visio. They can pan and zoom in the online diagram, follow hyperlinks in shapes, and refresh the data. Diagrams can be rendered in Microsoft Silverlight (high-fidelity) or in PNG format for those who don't have Silverlight.

Create Visual Mashups Using Visio Services

• Create visually compelling, interactive dashboards for your audience by combining Visio diagrams, real-time data, and different applications in SharePoint Server. Visio Services and SharePoint Server 2010 integration support visual mashups of actionable data and diagrams for an information-rich visual experience.

Study and Explore your Information

• Connect diagrams to data sources like Excel and Access. New linking methods populate each shape property based on data value.


• New Data Graphics feature allows you to display shape data attractively. Display data fields next to a shape, in boxes below a shape or directly on top of a shape.


• Use Refresh Data feature in Visio 2007 to automatically refresh all the data in your diagrams as it changes.


• Use PivotDiagrams and create different views of the same data so you can understand the issues better.

Share Diagrams with Everyone

• Theme Feature in Visio 2007 Pro makes it simple to format every aspect of colors and effects on a diagram with a single click.


• Save in PDF or XPS so your Visio 2007 diagram can reach even those who don't have Visio.


• Share diagrams as a Web page with navigation, reports and style sheets.


• Share Visio diagrams with others via Windows SharePoint Services. A diagram opened in SharePoint Services displays a Workspace pane displaying files, members, tasks and links.


• Multiple people can work on the same diagram with Track Markup feature, which makes each reviewer's contributions clear to the others.

Customize Visio 2007 Professional to Your Needs

• Visualize custom solutions, such as Unified Modeling Language (UML), data flow, and Windows user interface diagrams.


• The Software Development Kit (SDK) helps developers build programs, and includes extensive samples, tools, and documents to simplify the development of custom applications. It also includes a set of functions, classes, and procedures for common tasks.


• Program the Visio drawing environment in custom applications or programs with the Visio Drawing Tool. And the Visio Drawing Tool can be integrated with the host app's UI, so it becomes a smooth part of the application.


• Control features in Visio 2007 programatically, like connecting to a data source, linking shapes with data, graphically displaying data, connecting shapes automatically, monitoring mouse-drag actions and applying theme colors and effects.
