WOW! You REALLY know this program! I did quite a bit of research to find a free online mind map / flow chart tool that had features I was looking for. When I found this tool, it looked a little intimidating, but you have really covered the basics extremely well I will be referring to this video again for sure! Thank you for taking the time to share this.
You're very welcome! You can't go wrong with choosing this tool! It has a lot more cooler/advanced features that I didn't even cover, in case you need them in the future. I think the program does a very good job of being relatively easy to use, but having advanced features if you need them.
@@Abdullah-mg5zl Its not a compliment - Barry is extracting the urine. This video didnt solve the question I had over connectors. How do you make a connector cross ontop of or underneath another connector using a loop for example?
hello,i made a use case diagram and wanted to export it as pdf but because of these waypoint lignes my diagram was on 18 pages instaid of one, how can i remove the waypoint or how can i adjust my diagram to fit into only one page
hi, I created a file but there are 3 pages ( 2 of them empty) - I did not know how to erase them . When I converted to pdf the empty pages are there... please help. This is a great tool Thanks for your guidance.
Hello! 1) Try to enable "page view" (check the checkbox on the right). And then make sure all ur drawings are on one page 2) Did you export via File->Export As->PDF or some other way? Usually if you have multiple pages, it's because you have some invisible object in some other pages or something like that. Try to copy your shapes to another instance of draw.io and see if that helps.
Yes, you can. New pages are added automatically to fit your drawing. Also, look on the bottom, you have multiple "tabs". You can create new tabs for new drawings, in the same document.
I don't think you can do that, it's not a plotting (graphing) library. You can use a Computer Algebra System like sympy (python module) or wolfram alpha to plot symbolic equations. You can use tools like excel, etc if you just want to plot some x,y points. Then you can just screenshot the plot into draw.io :)
Hello Abdullah, Many thanks for the comprehensive tutorial. Just having one question. How can we add animated shapes in to the drawings? For example. Hiding un-hiding any objects or lines on clicks ?
Hey Akshay! I think you meant "interactive" shapes. You can do that by using what is called "actions". Every shape that you draw in draw.io has an associated id. Every shape also has a "link". The link can be to a webpage, or it can be an "action". An "action" can be things like showing/hiding another shape! That's the concept. This page walks you through how to actually do it: www.diagrams.net/doc/faq/custom-links Be sure to read the last sentence in that page, as it gives you a tool to make creating actions much easier.
I'm trying to create a swim lane diagram but I'm not sure how I should represent an activity that two teams (lanes) both do together? What is the correct way to show that?
Hi Abdullah great content. I learn a lot. I have one question. Quite often When I click the background a text box is created automatically. Is there a way to disable it.?
Hello! You should have to *double* click to create a text box, not single click. This behavior isn't too annoying to me, and I don't know of a way to turn it off unfortunately.
When you export to PNG, there is an option to keep an editable version of the diagram INSIDE the PNG. In other words, you can use Draw.IO to open the same PNG and edit the diagram.
Any shape can have text added to it by double clicking the drawn shape and then typing. So first draw an arrow shape (select it from the shapes library on the left), then double click it and type yes/no.
Hi Abdullah, Thank you for this great video, helped alot. However, i have a question please. How do you connect the diagram using a double connected arrow, the ones listed are too wide for my diagram, i need a slim one but cant seem to find it. I will appreciate it if you could help please. Thank you again
Hello! Thank you! First create a regular arrow, then select it, then on the right panel there are two drop downs which control the start and end of the line. The end should by default be an arrowhead. Click the start one and select an arrow head for the start as well :)
@@Abdullah-mg5zl You are awesome, you just solved a problem in seconds i have spent hours trying to figure out. Thank you so much Abdullah, it really worked.
Although this tutorial is 3 years old, nothing in this video is outdated. Very useful.

Awesome. Excellent. Made my life is easy.
Thanks!
Abdullah can you help me please? I cant seem to export to a 1 page pdf. My download is spread across 6 pages. thanks
great video. dow do you number the shapes?
Can't you double click them and set the text to a number? Or am I misunderstanding your question?
Can we add text on both end of line? , Such as we have 2 connectted cable and want to mark up port name on both side.

Can you have a multiple page diagram/flowchart?
Yes, you can. New pages are added automatically to fit your drawing.
Also, look on the bottom, you have multiple "tabs". You can create new tabs for new drawings, in the same document.
i have one question, i can't find the widht and height setting. can you tell me?, because when i export it, the result cropped
It shouldn't be cropped..., you can put in a "border" value when you export, try that.
@@Abdullah-mg5zl ok, thank you man
How can I wraw bell shaped curve(Normal curve ) by using Draw.IO
I don't think you can do that, it's not a plotting (graphing) library. You can use a Computer Algebra System like sympy (python module) or wolfram alpha to plot symbolic equations. You can use tools like excel, etc if you just want to plot some x,y points. Then you can just screenshot the plot into draw.io :)
Thank you so much Abdullah. Your video saved me a lot of time, very helpful!
You're very welcome!
Very useful - saved me a lot of time
Very glad to hear that!
Nice tutorial. Thanks it made it easy to use this tool
Glad it helped!
What to do if I want to change the shape of already inserted shape ?
Copy your old text, delete the shape, insert new shape, paste new text onto shape :)
Can we show data types in table? Like varchar,nvarchar
Thank You! Great Tutorial - I appreciate you took the time to make it.
You're very welcome!
When I double click text , in the box text was written in by default I can't change that . Please help me
Select the text and start typing. Does that work?
@@Abdullah-mg5zl yes that works but before what we typing "text" is written there
1 parent box and 5 child box, how to do it?
Can I add pictures?
Yes! Just drag the picture in. Or you can copy/paste it in.
Thanks for simple explanation. 👍
No problem!
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!
You're very welcome!

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with that diagram! Sorry!
@@Abdullah-mg5zl no worries, in the end I just placed the output across the swimlane line with the flow arrows from both lanes pointing to it.

it was worth the time. Thanks for the video

How do you get arrow with yes /no text
Any shape can have text added to it by double clicking the drawn shape and then typing.
So first draw an arrow shape (select it from the shapes library on the left), then double click it and type yes/no.
this is a fabulous tutorial! thanks!
You are very welcome!!
Thank you for the very helpful video. Does anyone know if draw.io can sync up with referencing software like endnote/zotero?
No problem. And unfortunately, I don't have an answer for your question, maybe someone else can chime in
