Canvas X Draw
About Canvas X Draw
Canvas X Draw is a graphic design software that helps businesses create and edit images, digital drawings, floor plans, and logos. Administrators can add filters and effects to edit raster images and vector illustrations.
The platform offers built-in templates, enabling designers to create brochures, business cards, flyers, flow charts, and menus. Canvas X Draw allows editors to add multiple layers of illustrations and add textures, patterns, as well as colors to generate visuals. Teams can also utilize the curvature tool to create curves and add straight lines to create images on a unified interface.
Canvas X Draw lets businesses cut straight lines and paths between two points across vector objects and build personalized symbol sets from different images. Supervisors can also use the ink dropper to match, mix, or blend colors and control hue and saturation levels on a centralized dashboard.

I work in product design, engineering and manufacturing. Canvas allows me a consistent way to communicate thru the lifecycle, and share that in an effective way with my eco-partners.
Pros
I've used canvas since Deneba Software developed it. A cross platform, easy to use, raster/vector design package was revolutionary then, and is now. Team supports new tool development, and has my loyalty.
The full package.
Cons
My yearly subscription seems to be mixed up, but nothing to do with the SW. IT ROCKS.

I love Canvas and have been an active user since the mid-1990's! I am a MAC user and was EXTREMELY happy when Canvas for Mac was reestablished a few years ago!
Pros
This software compares very favorably with CorelDraw but is less expensive and in my opinion much easier to use!
Cons
In my business I do graphics or applique's for athletic and travel bags requiring multiple layers. I find the "Offset Path" function sadly lacking. "Offset Path" can only be used for what I consider very simple polygons and not more complex figures such as lettering or anything that has multiple edges/rounded curves, and punchouts. As a result, I also need to use CorelDraw to apply their "Contour" function. Also I find the "Extrude" function in Canvas X Draw unwieldy! In my bag design I like to create a 3-D effect to show clients what their end product looks like! Unless the operator has a good feel for 3-D coordinates this is problematic. I like the "Extrude" function from CANVAS in the '90's where not only could you apply a 3-D effect, but the individual panels could be ungrouped, color applied, and then reassembled into a finished product. Also there is a typo in the "Arrowhead" attributes editor under "Full". It says "Buttom" rather than "Bottom".

CorelDRAWReasons for Switching to Canvas X Draw
Canvas is an easier program to use and very straight forward! Functions are aptly named and from that you can guess their use! CorelDRAW does have functions that I need so I have to use it in conjunction with Canvas. My main drawings are done in Canvas X Draw, saved in a common format, and then transferred to CorelDRAW for completion; mostly for application of the Contour function. Also ... Canvas X Draw is not compatible with either my embroidery machine software [PULSE for Tajima] or my IOLINE 300 cutter!- Industry: Construction

In our magazine we use Canvas X Draw for chart ilustration making. It works perfectly and charts/graphs are very nice and with precise interpretation of data. For us, it is very important.
Pros
CAD file import and postediting in Canvas X Draw document is the most "welcome" in vector illustrating tools market. Canvas open numerous different CAD formats, and you can easily integrate that illustrations in you design.
Cons
Canvas X Draw did not support UNICODE ... and it is the greatest problem with all standalone versions till now.
Reasons for Switching to Canvas X Draw
For chart making, with good pdf export in PDF 1.7 format, Corel X Draw is the best.- Industry: Higher Education

Hate Aggravator, but Love Canvas!

Been using Canvas for many years to make publishable figures and graphics for scientific presentations. All editions of canvas have been super easy and intuitive to use, this latest version being no exception. Importing graphs from other programs also go in clean and easy. I've used other programs and everything gets scrambled and you need to be a high level graphic artist to use these. Canvas is good for novices on up. Edits are quick and easy in canvas. You can make beautiful elaborate figures or keep it simple. Export is clean too. Save as a PDF or other file and everything you see in the canvas document is conserved. Aggravator doesn't ever work this well.
Pros
Ease of use is number 1. The way the program is laid out is very intuitive. Lines draw the first time and when you click on something it actually selects it. Layers work too! Competitors software (aka Adobe Aggravator) need years of training to draw a simple line. Canvas just works the first time. I very much appreciate that new versions work like the old ones. You've added features but kept the old ones in place and they work the same. No hunting, no "where did they put that" or "it used to be able to".
Cons
I do wish there were more fill options for shapes. Also I typically have to convert the canvas files to another file type to print especially if they are being printed on a large format plotter. Older versions had trouble "talking" to HP plotters, but will have to see how the latest version works. It also has some trouble reading really old canvas files.
