Thanks Steve! I learned a few things I didn’t know before and can definitely apply them to my next diagram or flow chart. One other useful tool, IMO, is layers. They help to prevent upper objects snapping to lower objects that you have no desire to align with. Great video and thank you again for sharing.
Nice tip! We were talking about creating a Part 2 for this video in the Diagramming Workgroup, today, that could include more advance tips like layers and such. Thanks for the suggestion! (Also, I meant to thank you for that great demonstration of Impact Mapping!)
I like this program mostly, was able to find ways to make it work along with this video. I think like the worst problem that you cant really do much about is how selection feels to use, selection box and group selection behavior is not pleasant. But ill stick with this one, it's nice to be able to quickly put together diagrams, I also appreciate it not being purely browser based so I can keep the project file along with everything else.
Eraser is crap. You have to pay every month for eraserio, and the free version has limits, even the professional version for 10$/month has limits, and as far as I can tell it requires the internet, while Drawio can be installed as an application on different operating systems, and doesn't need internet, making it suited for offline use, plus you won't have privacy issues... and it all comes free. You should work for the Comedy channel. 😛
@fatcatdevtips created this excellent follow-up video with more advanced tips. Check it out here:

I think that sums it up really well. It's not a perfect drawing tool, but given all the benefits, it's worth working through the trade-offs.
Eraser is the drawio killer
