                        [JENKENS & GILCHRIST LETTERHEAD]

Richardson, Texas 75081

         Re:     Micrografx, Inc. Registration Statement

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Micrografx, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or about October 8, 1998, under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to an additional 550,000
shares (the "Shares") of the $0.01 par value common stock (the "Common Stock")
of the Company that have been or may be issued by the Company under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, for the Company (the "Plan").

         You have requested the opinion of this firm with respect to certain
legal aspects of the proposed offering.  In connection therewith, we have
examined and relied upon the original, or copies identified to our
satisfaction, of (1) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company; (2) the
Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended; (3) minutes and records
of the corporate proceedings of the Company with respect to the establishment
of the Plan, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and
related matters; (4) the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto, including
the Plan; and (5) such other documents and instruments as we have deemed
necessary for the expression of opinions herein contained.  In making the
foregoing examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified
or photostatic copies.  As to various questions of fact material to this
opinion, and as to the content and form of the Articles of Incorporation, the
Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, minutes, records, resolutions and
other documents or writings of the Company, we have relied, to the extent we
deem reasonably appropriate, upon representations or certificates of officers
or directors of the Company and upon documents, records and instruments
furnished to us by the Company, without independent check or verification of
their accuracy.

         Based upon the firm's examination, consideration of, and reliance on
the documents and other matters described above, and subject to the assumptions
noted below, this firm is of the opinion that the Company presently has
available at least 550,000 shares of authorized but unissued and/or treasury
shares of Common Stock from which may be issued the 550,000 shares of Common
Stock issued or proposed to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options
granted under the Plan.  Assuming that

         (1)     the outstanding options are duly granted, and the options to
be granted in the future will be duly granted in accordance with the terms of
the Plan;

         (2)     the Company maintains an adequate number of authorized but
unissued shares and/or treasury shares available for issuance to those persons
granted shares of Common Stock under the Plan; and
<PAGE>   2

         (3)     the consideration for Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan
is actually received by the Company as provided in the Plan (agreements
executed in connection with the Plan) and exceeds the par value of such shares;

then the 550,000 additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued in
accordance with the terms of the Plan will be, when and if issued, duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to references to our firm included in or made a part
of the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we
come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        JENKENS & GILCHRIST,
