Precision Drawing Tools Image Control Capabilities New Drawing and Diagramming Features Compatible With Previous Versions Compatible With Microsoft Products Compatible With CAD Drawings Unequalled Solutions Platform Richer Internet Support Total Cost of Ownership Richer Internet Support Vision 2000 allows users to publish business diagrams and technical diagrams in a variety of Web-ready formats and embed hyperlinks to external information. SmartShapes symbols can be hyperlinked to multiple files, including other pages, drawings and Web sites - even to specific shapes or locations. The hyperlinks appear on the right-click shortcut menu. When a user links one shape to another in a different drawing, Visio 2000 automatically opens that drawing and zooms to the appropriate level selected for the shape. For example, one might hyperlink from a shape representing a person in an organization chart to the office location for that person in a floor plan.
Shapes can have several hyperlinks, which appear on the right-click shortcut menu.
Visio drawings can be published and shared easily on the Web, a corporate intranet or via e-mail. With VML support, users can pan, zoom and navigate through multiple-page drawings in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 browser with no additional software. VML-based graphics download much more quickly than conventional raster Web graphics, such as GIF and JPEG images. All rights reserved.
