Hi,
I'm knew to ConceptDraw. I need to do some electrical circuit diagrams and am having trouble finding the right symbols. Is it possible to search the ConceptDraw libraries for a keyword as it is in Visio? What about being able to import Visio libraries is that possible?
Would be grateful for any help.

This is one the key features that is missing in version 7.5 but is available in version 8.0. I have an extensive Visio background and it can be frustrating when specific Visio functions are missing in ConceptDraw or how they are executed. No where on the web site is a list of what the difference is between version 7.5 and the newer version 8.0. I am only finding out by trial and error by downloading a trial version of 8.0 and comparing both by running each in parallel.
Hopefully this helps,
Dave

Use File\Library\Find In Libraries... or Search field in libraries window. Visio libraries isn't supported for now.
