W hat's new in this release?

There are so many features available in the latest release of SharePoint Shapes for Visio, take a look...
Fully Integrated with Visio menus [All Libraries] Top
Your SharePoint Shapes Libraries now appear as integrated menu entries on your Visio 2003, 2007 & 2010 Installation. This makes using the shapes as natural as any other professional Visio Stencil and Template set.

When you launch Visio 2003 & 2007 after installing your SharePoint Shapes, you will be able to select SharePoint shapes from the Template Categories, from the File -> New and from the File -> Shapes menus.

Select from the Template Categories when you first launch Visio 2003 & 2007

Selecting the Shapes menu options under the Top Menu File option will display your installed SharePoint Shapes Libraries. Selecting a Library will display the Shapes and Shape Categories in the Library.

(Above) The Design Library is now divided in to the 5 design types based on templates.
 
(Right) Selecting the New menu option under the Top Menu File option will display your installed SharePoint Shapes Libraries.

From here, you can select the templates that you want to use. All the Shapes for a specific template will be loaded when you select the template.

 

New High Precision Design Templates at 2000% [Design Library] Top
We have added so many new templates to this release. To help make your presentations as professional as possible, we have also included a large number of 2000% Precision Design Templates.
 

Design Version 2.0 Templates have been completely reworked. Now they are stylish, more detailed and deadly accurate. Each aspect of your SharePoint design will be precise and exacting with these new high-precision templates. Using these templates and some of the new shapes in Design (Version 2.0) you will be able to produce easily recognizable user interfaces with as little as 5 shapes.

A New High Level Design Stencil Library [The New High Level Design Library] Top
This new Stencil Library will allow you to design your new SharePoint projects from a birds-eye view. You will be able to accurately relay conceptual designs, ideas and strategies. This new Stencil Set is for SharePoint project Structure with the goal to realize your deliverable as a High Level. Your Applications, Sites and Services will be best planned with this set. Your managers and co-workers will be able to quickly understand you thinking without going into all the detail of your overall design.
 
This Totally new Library will put visibility into concept!

It will bridge the gap between the Infrastructure Design elements like servers and database and the Interface Design elements like pages and content.

Now you will be able to demonstrate how the two will work together without all the (non-techie friendly) detail.

This is a great tool that will allow you to sketch out your manager or clients discussions in a graphical form, confirm your understanding and present it back to them with the requirements.

It is ideal for scope definition as you will be able to relay the client scope graphically, and a picture paints a thousand words.

Clarity of Scope - Now there's a new concept!
