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 visualize 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

Use the new Markup Pen, Mark-up Highlighter, Circle Redline, and Rectangle Redline tools to indicate revisions and add comments to objects that may require attention or correction. Collaborating through a process that can often be iterative has never been easier! Plus, for maximum flexibility, the Markup tools can be customized and markup objects can be located on separate layers and turned on/off during printing.

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.
