Browser for interactive diagrams based on Draw.IO

Just as wiki pages are automatically linked to each other when one page mentions another by name, Plainion.DrawVista automatically creates links between diagrams when the name of one diagram is mentioned within another.

This way related diagrams are easily connected and accessible, allowing convenient navigation between different components and layers of your designs and architecture.
