Canvas X Overview
Canvas X is the single most cost-effective, integrated solution for
the creation, enhancement, presentation and sharing of technical illustrations
and graphics.
Professionals that work with technical illustrations and graphics find
themselves increasingly challenged by the need to communicate and collaborate
with colleagues and clients on very complex, mission critical projects.
To further complicate matters, these initiatives may need to be managed
across different time zones, using a variety of software applications,
and even different operating systems. In these situations, the collaborative
process must be reliable, accurate, flexible, and cost-effective.
In response to these growing needs, Canvas X has emerged as a unique,
affordable, cross-platform solution designed to help you:
Streamline your Workflow
With Canvas, you can quickly simplify your work process by directly importing
files from over 80 standard file formats (including DXF and DWG), or
simply using the Canvas Print Driver to print any document into a Canvas
file for easy modification or enhancement. Bringing together all your
project documents, images, and data (even legacy files from obscure
formats or obsolete products) into one unified design environment has
never been so easy.
Create with Confidence
Canvas’ micron-level precision and virtually unlimited object and
control point specifications ensure that the accuracy of your data is
maintained throughout all aspects of the process-from design to
delivery. Plus, Dimensioning tools automate the cumbersome process of
measuring dimensions and eliminate conversion errors from manual calculations.
Capture your Audience
A comprehensive set of award-winning drawing, illustration, and image
-editing tools help visualise and enhance your project information. Plus,
Canvas’ proprietary Sprite Technologies enable you to apply transparency
effects and image editing filters to text, objects, and illustrations
without rendering-all objects remain completely editable. Advanced technologies
such as channel masks, vector masks, gradient transparency tools and opacity
effects are on hand for stunning visuals.
Collaborate with Colleagues
Canvas Markup and Annotation tools facilitate the iterative process of
reviewing documents and providing feedback. Markups and redlines can
be saved to separate layers or according to reviewer for easy identification
and review.
Share your Projects and Ideas
At any point in your workflow, Canvas provides the ability to share your
projects and ideas as cost-effective PDFs, professional/wide-format
print documents, HTML content or a number of other file formats-without
the need for additional applications.
