Visio can be used to create 3D map diagrams, though the built-in tools for this are limited. That’s why Visio has always been considered a program for “serious” diagrams. Usually, a paper and pen will suffice because a home user’s diagram isn’t sent out to an entire department. If you think about it, it’s not too often that the home user needs to write up professional diagrams. Visio’s primary clientele has been Enterprise users at the corporate level. Even more, Visio templates can be found in specific categories within the application or from Visio’s online download page.

Each template equips you with the appropriate menu and objects already open and ready for use. The Visio 2013 welcome screen features a dozen different templates to get you started. I think Visio is on the right track for that. The driving idea behind Visio is to make diagramming as easy as possible for the user. You can also make your own shapes and import them if you’re willing to do all that extra work. It offers a wide variety of built-in shapes, objects, and stencils to work with. Microsoft Visio can be used to create simple or complicated diagrams.
