Flowchart large and complex files. The new robust Visustin v6 can now process even your largest files. A previous 3000-line limit has been lifted.

Flowchart individual procedures via the new Structure panel. Load your file, select the functions and press Draw. This new feature replaces the need to select lines of code with the mouse or keyboard.

Save PDF flow charts. High-quality PDF is the perfect way to view, zoom and pan flow charts. Save a single-page PDF for viewing on the screen. Alternatively, save a paged PDF for printing. This new feature replaces the need to print on a PDF printer driver. Besides, the new PDF feature uses high-resolution vector graphics. No more jagged bitmap output. Samples

High-quality print-outs. Print-outs have been rewritten. Print at high resolution and quality. Optimized layout minimizes page break effects. Print-outs now have a much sharper look and feel. Better resolution also means you can fit more chart on a single sheet.

Bulk save each procedure into its own flow chart file. Instead of a giant diagram, you can now create many small flow charts out of a single source file. Feature implemented for most languages. [Pro Edition]

Windows 7 support has been added. Visustin v6 supports Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7.

New languages

Flowchart JCL (MVS), Matlab, PL/I, Rexx and SAS code.

JavaScript and VBScript: Both languages now support embedded scripting on ASP pages (server-side scripting) and HTML pages (client-side scripting). There is also a new VBScript mode.

Visustin v6 includes a syntax update for 19 languages. It adds the latest syntax features and statements and also a number of other improvements. Check your language in the table below.

Other license sizes are available on request. Reinstallation is allowed if previous installations are removed first. Online activation is required before running the full software. Offline activation is possible through another, online computer. Activation is covered for 3 years after purchase of upgrade. Price and activation detailsPopup link

Upgrade details

Discounted upgrades are available from all previous Visustin versions. You need an old Visustin license of the same size (full upgrade). A partial upgrade to a smaller license is also allowed. As an example, from a 5-user license you can upgrade all 5 users or maybe only 1 or 2 users. To upgrade to a larger license, please ask for an offer.

A license upgrade terminates your existing license(s) in 30 days of upgrading. When upgrading to an equal or a larger license size, the old license terminates fully. A partial upgrade (to a smaller license size) decreases the size of the old license accordingly.

Free minor updates are included within one major version number (6.xx -> 6.yy), if any should come out.
