Major Update to SmartDraw Legal Edition Offers Twice the Templates, Improved Charts & Graphs and Key Shortcuts

SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--SmartDraw.com today announced the release of the SmartDraw Legal
Edition 2008.2, an updated version of its latest legal software and
the first-ever major content upgrade. Not only does the new version
feature improved charts and graphs and key short-cuts for improved
productivity, but it offers nearly twice the number of legal and law
enforcement templates.

SmartDraw 2008.2 features more than 300 new SmartTemplates that
users need most, including templates for crime scene investigation,
medical examination, case planning, and more. Plus, the product
features hundreds of new symbols for auto accident reconstruction and
crime scenes, as well as updated and improved content for the entire
traffic symbol library, which now totals 368 symbols.

SmartDraw 2008's most powerful new feature -- express charting --
has been improved again. New charting controls now give users more
flexibility to customize charts and graphs, allowing them to alter the
granularity of the chart and change where and how the legend is
displayed. ImageCharts have also been improved: now users can tell
SmartDraw exactly how many images they want repeated in each section
of the chart, or an image can represent a precise number of units.

Finally, new keyboard shortcuts help users do more and mouse less.
The 2008.2 release gives users the ability to work faster and more
efficiently with Keytips -- keyboard shortcuts for all menu items.
Users can access the Keytips menu anytime and make new commands
without ever touching a mouse.

The SmartDraw Legal Edition 2008 is the first program to automate
the task of creating legal graphics such as case chronologies, crime
scene diagrams, courtroom presentations, accident reconstruction,
evidence charts, flowcharts, and much more. Unlike other legal
graphics programs that provide you with a blank screen and expect you
to draw, with the SmartDraw Legal Edition, you start with a template
that is specifically designed to create the type of illustration that
you need. You enter your information and SmartDraw does the rest:
building the graphic automatically using built-in rules and
professional design themes to guarantee polished, presentation-quality
results in just a few minutes.

This new release is free to SmartDraw 2008 users, and can be
downloaded from www.smartdrawlegal.com. The free trial download is
also available from the site.
