Description

Mind Map Maker for Excel is a native Windows desktop Excel-based app that turns plain-text lists and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) data into visual mind maps, org charts, and flowcharts directly inside Microsoft Excel (2016+). Engineered for technical users, analysts, and project managers who want to eliminate manual shape drawing, the add-in uses a local calculation engine to determine geometric node placement, spacing, and connector path routing automatically. Technical Overview & Key Capabilities: • Local Execution & Data Privacy: Runs on-premise as a native COM add-in. All diagram calculations occur locally on your machine—no spreadsheet data is transmitted to external cloud servers or third-party web whiteboards. • Automated Layout Engine: Reads hierarchical text rows or WBS codes (e.g., 1.1, 1.2) to calculate layout geometry, position shapes, and draw straight, elbow, or curved connector lines with zero manual drag-and-drop. • Native Office Shape Export: Renders diagrams using standard Microsoft Office graphic objects. Generated charts can be copied and pasted directly into Word or PowerPoint as fully editable, native shapes without losing formatting or requiring add-in installation for viewers. • Ribbon UI Integration: Adds a dedicated tab to the Excel ribbon with single-click tools to insert, delete, reorder, elevate (Make Parent), or demote (Make Child) node tiers and filter tree rendering depth (Levels 1–5). • Distribution & Compatibility: Distributed via official Microsoft Store and Microsoft Marketplace channels. Supports Windows 10/11 (X86/X64) and desktop Office 2016 or newer ($2.99/mo, fully functional free trial available).

Description

The SysMLv2 Editor is an extension for Visual Studio Code that allows users to create SysML v2 models using a textual format, developed by Change Vision, Inc. These models are saved as standard .sysml files, enabling them to be managed in Git repositories, compared in pull requests, and evaluated alongside other source code components. Among its features are syntax highlighting, real-time validation according to the SysML v2 grammar, the ability to navigate to definitions, an outline view, and the capability to generate diagrams for analyzing both structure and behavior. While diagrams are provided in a read-only format, allowing for text-based editing, Change Vision also offers an early access version of the SysMLv2 Modeler for direct diagram manipulation. The SysMLv2 Editor is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Users can access it through an Astah SysML, Astah System Safety, or Astah Faculty Site License without any additional purchases, and a 20-day free trial is also offered. However, it should be noted that the editor does not support the importation of SysML v1 models from Astah SysML, ensuring a clear distinction between different SysML versions. This focus on SysML v2 could enhance users' experience by providing improved functionalities and a more modern approach to modeling.
