Subject:Software For Creating Data Flow Diagrams? From:Richard Lewis <tech44writer -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Mon, 18 Jun 2007 15:09:50 -0700 (PDT)
Hi all:
I am using data flow diagrams as the basis for what will ultimately be a automated graphics driven tool to help developers, help desk, etc. go from the general to the specific in understanding company systems. I currently have child diagrams that go down to 3 to 4 levels (about 40 diagrams). I anticipate ultimately drilling down to about 5 or 6 levels (about 60 diagrams). Are there any other tools for doing data flow diagrams besides Visio. In particular, a tool that supports the decomposition of data flows between parent and child diagrams would really help.
Thanks,
Richard Lewis
