Features
Now with
64-bit technology, Canvas X Pro 16 has been
fine-tuned for performance. Catering to a
wide range of professionals — from graphics
designers to engineers — this upgraded
technology allows for more memory, faster
performance, and is DPI-aware to take
advantage of today’s most advanced hardware.
The result is drastically increased document
speed and the best graphics display
available on the market. Canvas X Pro 16
also includes a new modernized interface for
an enriched user experience.
Canvas X Pro 16’s unique and integrated
design environment makes it possible for
users to work with and combine all graphical
elements, and to apply high-end effects in a
single document. Technical illustrators can
now open and manipulate documents with over
one million objects in seconds vs. minutes.
Technical
Illustration
As the go-to
application of technical illustrators in
precision industries, Canvas X Pro 16 comes
loaded with the impressive and comprehensive
set of vector object illustration and
advanced raster image editing tools you need
to get the job done,— all provided in one
integrated, flexible design environment.
Drawing with
Precision
Canvas X Pro
16 comes loaded with tools and
techniques that allow you to easily
create scale drawings, floor plans,
architectural designs, and other
technical drawings with measured
precision and placement. Snap objects
into exact positions relative to each
other, draw from the center points of
objects, define the scale for scale
drawings, systematically align objects,
display size information as you work,
and add dimension objects.
Work with
Vector and Raster Images
Canvas X Pro
16 ’s unique and integrated design
environment makes it possible to work
with and combine all graphical elements,
and apply high end effects to each in a
single document. Thanks to the ability
to work with both vector graphics and
raster images with the same powerful
enhancement tools, Canvas X Pro 16 users
are able to create professional-looking
outputs while preserving full
editability of all graphical data.
Add Objects
on the Fly
Canvas X Pro
16 comes stocked with a diverse range of
commonly used and specialized technical
symbols. Or you can create your own from
any vector, text, composite, or paint
object, and add it to the Symbol
Library. And if you alter a symbol in
the palette, all copies of it in the
document will change along with it,
allowing you to maximize efficiency.
Vector
Object Versatility
Experience
complete flexibility while working
dynamically with vector objects. Canvas
X Pro 16 ’s adaptable Sprite technology
can be used to apply image and
transparency effects without rendering,
allowing you to continue to edit your
graphics at any time. Do more with
specialized technologies, such as
gradient transparency tools, vector
masks, opacity effects, channel masks,
and much more.
Raise the
Bar with Raster Images
Design,
edit, and upgrade raster images with a
variety of industry-leading tools and
filters. Form composites, touch up
photos, create and utilize transparency
effects, paint, clone pixels, and more.
Communicate
with CAD Files
Import
native AutoCAD files, enjoy CAD-inspired
dimensioning tools, and edit and
manipulate CAD objects. Place a 2D view
of a 3D object in your document, edit
the view, adjust the orientation,
rotation, zoom, and lighting.
Purposeful
Pasting
Paste
attributes, paste into Text Flows, paste
and replace, and copy and paste images
and objects. Render objects by copying
and pasting them into selections in
paint objects. Paste almost anything
into a selection, including a selection
of a raster image channel, or a channel
mask that is attached to another object.
Draw with
Data
To satisfy
the accuracy demanded by engineering and
scientific fields, Canvas X Pro 16
offers complete control over vector
object coordinates. Create illustrations
from geometric data, use grids and
guides to position objects, and adjust
objects’ numerical position for absolute
precision.
Go with the
Flow(chart)
Present
complex data in visually appealing,
logical, and accessible flowcharts.
Avoid having to import static pre-made
charts with external spreadsheet
programs by creating dynamic charts and
tables with data inputted directly into
Canvas X.
Annotate,
Enhance and Dimension
Definitive
Dimensions
With linear,
chain, and baseline dimensioning tools,
it’s easy to pinpoint horizontal,
vertical, oblique, and perpendicular
distances. Display size information as
you draw, measure diameter, radius,
angle, area, and perimeter, add
dimension objects to illustrations, mark
the center of arcs and ovals, and nail
down the scale for scale drawings.
Articulate
with Annotations
Add clarity
to your illustrations with labels or
text. You can use the annotation tools
to add labels, callouts, or comments to
your diagrams or illustrations, or to
create simple flowcharts. And if you
re-position the annotation label object,
the SmartLines™ connecting it to the
illustration move right along with it.
Painless
Precision
Work with
infinitesimal units of measure with
certainty and control. Canvas X Pro 16
’s drawing engine fully conforms to the
IEEE floating point standard used in
scientific, engineering, medical, and
biotechnology industries. Personalize
these standard settings by editing the
size of lines, gaps, text, and
tolerances, modifying them for new and
unique workflows, and saving them for
ongoing use in similar work contexts.
Work within
Industry Standards
Create
dimension objects that fully conform to
existing industry and government
standards, including: IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineer's)
floating point standard, ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) U.S.
Product and industry standards, DIN
(Deutsches Institut für Normung/German
Institute for Standardization)
internationally adopted standards, JIS
(Japanese Industrial Standard) standards
Thorough
Text Tools
Create text,
text layouts, and flow text from column
to column. Control all aspects of
formatting, create and save styles,
apply effects to type, wrap text inside
objects, repel text from objects, bind
text to object paths, and enjoy a full
range of text proofing and annotation
tools.
Work
Seamlessly with Others
Collaborate
with confidence and efficiency with the
ability to add comments to any object,
including paint, vector, and text
objects.
Augment Your
Vision
Apply a
variety of filters to your images, text,
and vector objects with SpriteEffects,
or transparency with SpriteLayers.
Create a lens object and apply effects
to accentuate specific elements of your
document. Lens objects let you limit an
effect to a particular region of an
illustration, or they let you magnify an
area when you want to show a detailed
view.
Harmonious
