    allow for real time collaboration on diagrams

    Can we have real time collaboration on diagrams. I saw some mention of this on your twitter or something. Hows that going?

    Status: planned

    We've been experimenting with real time collab internally and its working fine. But we currently have important features that we need to deliver before getting real time out to you.
    If you think Real TIme is what you want- Vote me and tell us why.

    export to EPS format or non-rasterized PDF

    EPS is commonly used for images in LaTeX publications. The exported PDFs seem sort of low quality, so it would be better to export in a vector format.

    Custom objects

    It would be nice if you could have your own page with custom objects. You could then easily make a composite out of other objects. Just right click an object / group you made and make it a template. This would then be added to your custom objects page.

    Graph Sketching Capabilities

    I would be happy to have a tool like Omni GraphSketcher.
    Sketching graph is a vital visualizing tool.
    This tool should be a reference:

    Thanks.

    Provide API

    I would recommend an API for this great tool:
    - capability to export diagrams
    - capability to import diagrams
    - delete diagrams
    - share/unshare
    etc.

    Status: planned

    We've started work on a new API.

    Add Table and Tree-Table objects for use in UI mockups

    These two widgets are extremely common in UI design and should exist. It should be possible to easily add/remove columns and it should be possible to provide some sample data inside a column.

    This is a great idea and its definitely something you'll get more of from Creately.
    What other types of dynamic objects would you like to see in the Mockups and Wireframes object set?

    Way to add multiplicity annotaion to class relationshisp in UML diagram

    Just need to note multiplicity for each side of a relationship in a UML class diagram.

    I suppose you could do this with a text box but it would be nice if it was a property of the relationship between the classes like the arrowhead type. This way it would 'follow' as you move things around.

    A ... more

    Brilliant.

    Create a viewer for diagrams that can be embedded - important to be able to have clickable links!

    Bloggers, academics, consultants could then embed the viewer into their website and user could navigate complex flow charts by clicking on links. The links could direct user to related charts/diagram or to external content.

    I don't want to have to draw a matrix or a table from scratch - please add the ability to create them like you can in Word.

    Text positioning on objects need to be easier

    The text positioning feature is difficult to find and is not flexible enough. Any ideas how it can be made better?

    Currently the contextual Text Edit toolbar has a single Button (furthest left) that lets to reposition the text to the following locations with respect to the KObject - Top, Center, Bottom, Left, Right. This is not the best solution - so tell us how you'd like to see this working.

    improve connector logic in org chart. it draws all over existing objects,and lines are hard to align

    We'd love to get a little more detail on the problem you have described. Would be great if you could Click on the Report Bug Button in Creately and attach an image of your org chart so we can help with your issue.

    Also, a good way to align objects in Org Charts is not to try to move the lines, but to move the objects themselves. The connector lines should automatically align themselves if the org chart objects are aligned.

    Be able to change object types after placing one.

    Sometimes, I'll place an object. Let's say, a square. Then, later, I decide it needs to be a circle. I'd like to be able to do that easily! :)

    Make the wireframe a working prototype with hyperlinks and publish online

    Allow us to create wireframe pages that links to each other to make up a working prototype of a web application. Allow hyperlinks to each of the pages and basic pop ups . Publish online so that it can be an online demo for customers / team members to view

    Hi Danny, we already have the feature to create links between diagrams in Creately - Open the Data panel and you can link any object (like a button or tab) to another diagram. Unfortunately the published image does not have hyperlinks, but we're working on that.
