CS Odessa Updates Brainstorming Software
 
CS Odessa has released ConceptDraw MindMap 4. The new version of the brainstorming tool features freehand branch drawing, floating and callout topics, task information support and the ability to import MindManager files on both Mac and PC. The update also adds the ability to export to Microsoft's Word and Project programs.

Freehand branch drawing apparently makes mind-mapping quicker and more convenient, as you can add branches by simply mouse-clicking over the map. Callout and floating topics allow putting down comments and ideas that do not associate with the map, and the extended customisable collection of symbols should provide for more expressive freedom by letting you choose symbol styles that fits best to your needs. Another important feature of version 4.0 is ability to import files created in the popular mind-mapping application, MindManager.

Version 4 makes another step forward by adding a New Task Info dialogue, allowing you to set start and due dates, duration, completion and assigned resources to topics so that users can generate the full-fledged task lists directly in the mind-mapping application. Once the creative stage is over you can export this data into Microsoft's Project or a ConceptDraw Project and have a ready-made Gantt chart.

ConceptDraw MindMap 4 is available for $99 (Personal) and $199 (Professional). The ConceptDraw product line for Windows and Macintosh comprises ConceptDraw (diagramming and drawing software), ConceptDraw MindMap (brainstorming tool), ConceptDraw Project (project management software), ConceptDraw Reporter (reporting software for creating image-based documents), ConceptDraw Presenter (creating slide shows, animated presentations and Flash movies from ConceptDraw documents), and ConceptDraw Server (publish ConceptDraw documents directly to the Web).

Also available is ConceptDraw Medical, a special module for medical and biochemical specialists.
