Microsoft Visio is a tool used for planning, organizing and documenting. The Visio methodology is both easy to understand and simple to use. Once you drag a Visio symbol into the work area,  you can adjust parameters such as size, color or description to create the perfect fit for your Visio diagram and overall plan. Using Visio shapes , you can draw plans, charts, diagrams, even maps. You can also create custom Visio stencils that can store your most frequently used shapes.

Your Visio drawing can be developed in either metric or in US units, a distinction which is critical when designing for technical projects, developing house floor plans or any planning that requires precise measurements. With Visio you can document almost anything because in addition to the shapes supplied, you can download additional shapes from the internet and import them directly into Visio.
