I use yED for everything from ER diagrams, tree diagrams, flow charts and more. It's sophisticated yet easy to use, but often times I find selecting a label in an element (and then try moving it around by dragging-and-dropping) tricky. That's because you often end up selecting the actual element and not the label inside the element.
Great tutorial, and I can say with confidence that it really works as shown. I just made a flowchart today that looks way better than anything I've done in Visio or Gliffy recently.
Now if this guys could make up a flow chart on how to fix our economy & political system, the rest of us would be in business too! Excellent Tut! you are really good at what you do & it looks like a nice product as well. Can it do Windows 8 graphics or 3D Cad, I will read on, Thanks!
-- Thank you for your feedback! Yes, that's possible. You can add custom nodes to the Palette and drag them from there.

@runeseeker1000 -- Thank you for feedback! It's true, you're not required to give your email address, and it's still free! :-).

This is an excellent program! I have used Windows Visio and Freemind before, but Visio was not as easy-to-use as yED and freemind was no good for creating flowcharts (as it is more directed towards mindmaps). yED can do all of that and is free of charge. The grid and snap angle functions are easy, but make working with it so clean, I love it! Is there a way to generally change the color layout of the nodes, so when they are dragged into the chart they immediately have a certain style?
I've not used yed, but looks like a great tool. And this presentation is awesome. One question : Does it support the "dot" language for visualizing graphs?
Nice overview. Would it be possible to add a feature that causes the nodes to resize automatically if the text in them is long? In this demo you've resized it by hand, can that part could be automated?
Please, can you do a videotutorial showing how to import data from excell to place connections? I'd like to connect: Mary with John with Joseph with Frank May I enter that in a single row from Excell? if you could make a videotutorial covering this, would be grateful.
@thyagtubes -- Thank you for your feedback! yEd has no direct support for the "dot" language, however, you can convert "dot" files to GraphML files, which you can then open with yEd. You can find the link to a Python script to do so in the yEd Q&A forum: yed.yworks.com/support/qa/ (Simply search for "dot" using the search field.) The yEd Q&A is the best place for everything yEd.

Hi! Yes, there is. Create a custom node representations that uses your choice of label background color and add it to your new user-defined palette section. Now make that node your default node representation by double-clicking it. Voilà. See the yEd manual for the details: yed.yworks.com/support/manual/palette.html ('User-defined Sections', 'Adding Sample Representations to User-defined Palette Sections', 'Setting Defaults')
After you're finished editing, you can either export it as a picture (PNG, ...) or select all, right-click on free space to open the context menu and select "copy to system clipboard" and paste it into your Word file.

Wow, that basically fixes all my potential problems in under 6 minutes - thank you!
yEd just gets better and better! Thanks for a great tool.
hey its been 10 yrs since you have commented here how are you ??
@@carti-sx5yo Great, thank you! How are you doing?
@@dariusz_works yeah man im doing great tooo thanks for asking!
Great tutorial, learned all the basic skills I need!
Excellent video, with a cool, calm voice too!
The example made it more interesting. It really is a great tool.

thanks, but how do you end an arrow on another arrow instead of a node?

Yes, nodes can also resize automatically to accommodate their text.

Brill tool, brill vid, thanks
thank you so much bro !
Is it possible to tell yEd to prevent user from adding duplicate nodes?
Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in yEd currently.
Happy Diagramming!
very helpful bro
You're welcome bro 😉
How to get branch out arrow in yEd graphs.
Do yWorks have ghosting effect?
Hello, do you know whether it's possible to add multiple lines between two elements? (for example for parallel cables)
Hello! Yes, yEd supports multiple connections between two elements.
@@yWorksTube But one lays exactly on the another, so you actually see one line with 2 arrowheads.
Is there any way to change the default color for labels to make a dark background more usable?
Hi!
Yes, there is. Create a custom node representations that uses your choice of label background color and add it to your new user-defined palette section. Now make that node your default node representation by double-clicking it. Voilà.
See the yEd manual for the details:
yed.yworks.com/support/manual/palette.html ('User-defined Sections', 'Adding Sample Representations to User-defined Palette Sections', 'Setting Defaults')
how do i get updates of the editor? the site did not require me to provide any e-mail add when i downloaded it..
Hi, Is it possible to automatically generate Models by picking up the actions of a user on any web site to create state action diagram.
Hi! Models are not created automatically, instead you can create your state action diagrams manually in yEd.
how do you handle a flow-line that should touch another flow-line. i can't possibly find a way to do that.
Not sure what you mean by 'Windows 8 graphics', but 3D CAD is not the domain of yEd. It's 2D diagrams.
Enjoy yEd!
Once I'm done with my diagram, how can I copy what I did in a word?
After you're finished editing, you can either export it as a picture (PNG, ...) or select all, right-click on free space to open the context menu and select "copy to system clipboard" and paste it into your Word file.

Thanku sir
Thanks! Very informative!
This amazing software has been around since 2011 (at least) and I didn't know about it????Why, How? I am ashamed of myself :D
Don't be ashamed of that - it's actually been around since before 2002 :-) Happy diagramming!
i love it
