         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 1,100,000 additional 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 1995 Incentive
and Nonstatutory Stock Option 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 1,100,000 shares of authorized but unissued and/or treasury
shares of Common Stock from which may be issued the 1,100,000 additional 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

         (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 1,100,000 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,
