## Overview

### Key benefits of SmartDraw

SmartDraw makes professional drawings and diagrams accessible to everyone. Non-technical users can quickly create floor plans, while professionals get the precision and scale they require. With industry-leading floor planning tools, strong data integrations, and an intuitive interface for traditional diagramming, SmartDraw delivers enterprise-ready power without unnecessary complexity.&#10;&#10;SmartDraw makes it easy to create accurate scaled diagrams without requiring specialized CAD training. Create floor plans for both residential and commercial spaces, make accident reconstructions and crime scenes, build fire pre-plans and design landscapes easily. Your team doesn't need to be experts to get expert results.&#10;&#10;While SmartDraw makes creating floor plans easy, you can skip that step and import an existing floor plan as a PDF or start with a Google Maps image to serve as the foundation for a new drawing.&#10;Get thousands of industry-standard symbols to build anything from commercial floor plans, warehouse layouts to accident reconstructions and fire pre-plans.&#10;&#10;You can truly customize any floor plan using your own product catalog. Import symbols, apply scale, and add shape data. Plus, SmartDraw can count items automatically and generate visual manifests to support estimates and proposals.&#10;&#10;With SmartDraw, you can turn ordinary diagrams into data-driven plans by attaching structured information to every symbol. Teams can generate manifests and summaries on demand for estimating, purchasing, or documentation.&#10;&#10;Support your entire organization with flowcharts, organizational charts, mind maps, project charts, technical engineering diagrams, IT diagrams, and more.&#10;&#10;SmartDraw works hand in glove with your existing IT infrastructure without disruption to maximize what you've already invested in. You can provision users with SSO, save files to your own preferred storage solution, and enjoy enterprise-level security.&#10;&#10;As an enterprise customer, you will have your own dedicated support rep for onboarding, training, and more.

## Reviews

### "Great for new users to computer aided designs." — 4.0/5

> **Oscar** | *28 June 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I tried Smartdraw for the first time in  2016 and I was impressed by the ease of use ; I understood the major workings around this program in a matter of days.I have used Smart draw for Gantt style charting , simple drawings ,including floor drawings when I moved to my new home a while back.&#10;  Smartdraw provides users with a variety of modules ,making it a program which can be leveraged by different professionals in different career fields.
> 
> **Cons**: Smartdraw doesn't allow for remote collaboration like what I have come to expect from months of recently embracing Lucidchart. I have also found out that when creating Gantt charts with this program , I am limited in the number of coloumns I am allowed to use.

### "CorrTech Smartdraw" — 5.0/5

> **Jon** | *31 March 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Ease of use and accessibility on any browser&#10;- Useful for variety of technical and organizational applications
> 
> **Cons**: Stringent functionality parameters outside of normal use-cases. More customizable features would be helpful.
> 
> Limited so far, but positive and helpful. Having a dedicated support person has been extremely helpful.

-----

### "Only provides yearly billing." — 3.0/5

> **Lizzy** | *20 January 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great shapes, very intuitive layout, easy to adjust the design.
> 
> **Cons**: Only have yearly pricing, yet they display the prices in cost per month.  This is misleading.
> 
> Unable to do anything with the stuff I made during the free trial. It does not actually feel like a free trial if you can't access the files you create.

-----

### "Simple and Effective Layout Tool" — 5.0/5

> **ariya** | *31 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: SmartDraw is super easy to use and makes it really quick to throw together clean-looking layouts. I use it a lot to show customers how things will fit in a space.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the customization can feel a little limited depending on what you’re trying to do, and sometimes you have to mess around with it a bit to get things exactly how you want. Not a dealbreaker, but yeah.
> 
> Overall, I’ve had a really solid experience with SmartDraw. It saves me time, keeps things looking professional, and helps me communicate ideas without a ton of back-and-forth. Being able to show a layout instead of just explaining it is awesome.

### "Very useful program for learning\!" — 5.0/5

> **Ann Rusin-Egnor** | *26 February 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate the responsive customer support for Smart Draw.  It is a great program to use for our crime scene investigations classes.  There are many helpful features and tools for students to use. It is very helpful for students to be able to save the sketch within Smart Draw and then to download to a PDF for assignments.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a bit of a learning curve when creating a sketch.  However, after using the program a couple times, it becomes easy to use.
> 
> Overall, we are very happy with the program and wish we started utilizing this sooner for our students\!  I would recommend this program for others to use\!
