Why ConceptDraw Project needs export to ConceptDraw XML
Let us make the Gantt chart presentable and accessible in different formats.
The new useful functionality of ConceptDraw Project
Only three months have passed from the moment of the first ConceptDraw Project
version release, as the update has appeared. The bigger
part of the new functionality concerns the increase in convenience of work with
the program (different variants copy/paste, start dialog). The appearance of
a flexible mechanism for creation of various customizable reports also arouses
no questions. However, the new export to ConceptDraw XML is not an
apparent necessity for business-projecting, at least, at first glance.
So why does ConceptDraw Project need export to ConceptDraw
XML?
To answer this question let us remember that a Gantt chart is usually not an
internal document which only one person works with - its author. You need quite
often to exchange information in the form of a Gantt chart with your colleagues,
partners and administration. And in this case it is not so easy to use the means
of this only program.
Firstly, in ConceptDraw Project you can quickly create a diagram
even with a very big number of tasks, but its possibilities to beautifully and
visually design it are limited. The only stresses that can be done in the program
on the chart itself are milestones and deadlines. They are very crucial, but
not the only possible notes that you may want to reflect on your chart. An additional
image, colour design will help to make the chart not only enjoyable and professionally
looking but also more visual. ConceptDraw
is a tool specifically designed for business- and technical drawing and is ideal
for such designing of ready charts.

The necessity of exchanging information also dictates other, may be even more
essential needs. It is hard to suppose that all your correspondents use special
programs for projecting (ConceptDraw Project or Microsoft
Project). The possibility is needed to send them a chart in a convenient
format or make it available via Intranet/Internet. And here comes such a helpful
program as ConceptDraw with its rich export capabilities.
PDF
If you need to send a document by e-mail, it can be conveniently saved in
a cross-platform (both on PC and on Mac there are free of charge programs
that allow to read this format) and a quite compact PDF format. The
same format is often used to prepare the document for print on an arbitrary
computer or printer.
HTML
To provide access to your document in Intranet or in Internet, use export
to HTML.

Many other formats...
A ConceptDraw document can be saved to many other formats
to be further processed and applied in most different ways: numerous graphic
formats, MS PowerPoint documents, swf-files (flash),
PostScript etc.
