Welcome to the Flow Charting 6 Sample Flowcharts page.  We have included Sample Charts in your install directory, and we offer this page in case you want another source to find Flow Charting 6 Samples.

Sample charts from the program (please see the installation directory and the subdirectory called “Samples”) can be viewed, copied and edited with any of your Flow Charting 6 programs, i.e., the rental, single user, LAN user, and Demo version.  Be sure to look at some of these samples - you might find a chart that you can copy and just make a few changes - and you're done.

When you load any sample chart you can see what they look like in print.  Make sure that you try printing on different sizes of paper!  A process flowchart is awesome when it is done on wide carriage (14 7/8 x 11”) fan fold and printed on a dot matrix printer.  The sample directory has samples of charts using cut sheet paper (8 x 11”) in both Landscape and Portrait; Tabloid size paper (14 x 11”) and we have included one sample done with “Print to 1 Page” feature. 

 List of charts made for letter size paper (Portrait 8 ˝ x 11):  AR Cash Applications, Deployment2, Deployment3, Family Tree_Feathers, Family Tree_Patton, Flowcht_Install Guide, Mouse Controls, Website Map, Network cht, New Product Dev, Org Chart1, Org Chart2, Production of Manuals, Silver Process.

List of charts made for letter size paper (Landscape 11 x 8 1/2): Data Flow1, Deployment1, Home Theatre Hookup, Mfg Cycle, Title Block Form.

List of charts made for Dot Matrix printers (14 7/8 x 11 FanFold): Data Prep, Mastering Process.

List of charts made for Tabloid size paper (17 x 11): Family Tree_Patton_Lrg.

The samples are divided into different directories according to the paper sizes used for printing.  Open a flowcharting file from the subdirectory Tabloid 11x17 and view the file. 

Note: If your printer does not support Tabloid size paper, then the chart you view will appear to be designed across page boundaries and you need to view it in the right perspective. 

If your printer accommodates Tabloid size - then try printing this chart.  Tabloid is an especially large piece of paper (11" x 17") and is useful for wall charts and maybe even framing.  You can also print this chart on your letter size paper by selecting the “Print to 1 Page” feature on the print page.

The dot matrix subdirectory contains charts made for fanfold paper (streaming) that has the wide carriage paper (11 7/8" x 11").  You can just imagine one of these charts containing an entire accounting process or a manufacturing process in 6 or 7 pages and pinning this up on the wall of a conference room. 

Please take a moment to look at the "Fit to 1 Page" directory.  These charts are actually made across several pages but then forced to print on only 1 page.  As you make one of these charts you do not worry about sizing - just make the chart - the program does the forcing to 1 page.  It is quite an effect. 

All of the other charts (those contained on this page) are made for printing on "cut sheet" or letter size paper on a laser printer.

All about paper sizes when creating or printing a flowchart with Flow Charting 6:

I'm going to create a flowchart!  What is my thought process?

    1) First you think about your chart and how big or little you want the print-out to be.

    2) Find a printer that supports that paper size.

            a) Laser printers usually support 8 1/2 by 11 both portrait and landscape

            b) Some laser printers support special sizes like legal (8 1/2 x 13) or Tabloid (11 x 17)

            c) Dot matrix printers now print laser quality printing on fan fold paper (wide or narrow carriage)

    3) Make sure that your printer of choice is installed to your system.

            a) Set that printer as your default printer.

            b) Set Flow Charting 6 paper size to your choice.

Remember, Flow Charting 6 is powerful!  Your data and the knowledge of your data are 100 times more powerful.  Make sure that you don't limit yourself to just letter size paper.

We welcome your comments about our Samples and we also would like to see some samples of your work.  If your charts are proprietary - see if you can't take out the private parts and then send us a copy.
