What works the same as Visio

  • A ribbon, status bar, and canvas with rulers, grid and zoom.
  • A Shapes pane with several open stencils and drag-to-page placement.
  • Inspect and edit cell formulas in the ShapeSheet inspector.
  • Right-click context menus with actions for your shapes.

What is missing

  • The project calls itself sort of usable; presentation mode, Change Shape and freeform drawing are still open.
  • Legacy Visio drawings (.vsd) are not supported yet.
  • VBA macros and macro-enabled files (.vsdm) are planned for later.
