Micrografx acquired Roykore Inc and their ABC Suite, which included ABC Flowcharter and ABC Orgchart of software in 1992. They acquired AdvanEdge Technologies in Tualatin, OR and their process simulation software Optima! in 1997.[2] In 1999 they combined the products and shipped iGrafx v8.
Corel and Micrografx were competitors in 1996 for Windows 95 users seeking graphics software. CorelDraw 6 attracted graphics professionals, while Micrografx ABC Graphics Suite attracted general users in the business community.[3] The company was acquired by Corel in late 2001. With this acquisition, the Micrografx graphics line (e.g. Micrografx Picture Publisher, Micrografx Designer) was integrated into the Corel portfolio. Since 2003, the former Micrografx software section for business process analysis is represented by the separate business unit iGrafx.[1][4]
Despite not being actively maintained or officially distributed, a scattered community still enjoys Micrografx products as legacy software.
