TopDown is a tool specifically designed for org/flow charts. It's ok.
For a more general purpose tool that will do what you want try
Intellidraw. I've been using it and it does some cool stuff in terms
of structured drawing. I like it better than the specialized charting
programs. It's got some bugs and quirks, but nothing else comes close
(short of a cad program like MiniCad).
