Cumulate Draw is not powerful as Gliffy where they just offers basic flow chart shapes only and text labeling, color fills, and all the other drawing tools you’d expect to find in a drawing program. Meanwhile, Cumulate Draw save all your work locally in SVG, JPG, PNG, PDF, and editable formats only. Not like Gliffy allow you to save your work on their server.

By the way, You can build your own drawing server by downloading the cumulate draw source code.

    You deploy Cumulative draw below Installation step :

    0. Download using the above link. Make sure the file is saved as “draw.war”, some browsers save it with a zip extension.
    1. Deploy this war in the webapps directory for tomcat or jetty, restart tomcat/jetty if required. The WAR must be named draw.war when deployed
    2. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/draw/draw.html
    3. The Cumulate Draw tool should appear, draw a few shapes
    4. Save as jpg to ensure the backend components are working correctly.

    does anyone have a copy of the draw.war file, as this in no longer provided by Cumulative Labs. If someone has the code for the war file can anyone provide, as its supposed to be open source anyway.
