User Experience Designers struggle to create information architecture diagrams using various tools. I have personally used Microsoft Visio and it takes a lot of time to create one. Most of the time it takes to arrange the lines and join the boxes. I was wondering for a good tool that i can use to create information architecture. See the images below you can make out the pain it takes to join the lines, grab each element and move it to the canvas.
