To make a shape interactive in demo mode, just follow these steps: Here's a short demo video highlighting these new features: It goes by pretty fast in the video, so I'll break it down here. I'm actually using software to wireframe! Me? I know. In fact, it's so well done, my whiteboard markers are lasting longer and the top of my dresser is less cluttered. I've put a lot of time into this project to make the workflow straightforward and logical. Suffice it to say, while whiteboards are still one of my favorite tools of the trade, there is now a really fast and easy way to create interactive wireframes: Lucidchart's wireframing feature set.

Plus, it's just crazy fun to scroll through the countless whiteboard snapshots on your iPhone in search of that one really great idea you had last week. It's not that these products (and others) are bad or incapable of filling the demand in the wireframing market, it's just that wireframing always felt like it was too organic to be contained in any computer. What about Microsoft Visio, Adobe Fireworks, or Balsamiq, you ask? The thought never crossed my mind. Whenever I start a new design project where a user interface is concerned, I go straight to madly scribbled sketches of boxes and squiggly lines that are the Lorem Ipsum of hand-written filler text. Wireframing, in my experience, has always been a whiteboard activity.
