Create with confidence

Technical illustrations require accuracy and micron-level precision from concept to finish. Canvas’ flexible environment lets you draw in any scale, define custom units of measurement, as well as grids and rulers. Add dimensioning objects that conform to industry standards, including ANSI, DIN, and JIS, or create custom settings for a specific project.

Import, view and save projects in 100+ file formats

Why work within limits when you don’t have to? From DWG, RAW DICOM to Kodak FlashPix, Canvas can open, numerous file formats so you can edit, apply effects, and export to another format. With the Canvas Print Driver (Windows XP only), ”print” almost any document – no matter the complexity – into Canvas for further enhancement and export.

Apply filters to images, text, and vector objects

With Canvas’ proprietary Sprite technology, illustrations, text, and graphics can be enhanced with both image and transparency effects without affecting the original object. This technology offers you extreme flexibility for creative art, technical illustration, and graphics production. Channel and vector masks, as well as gradient transparency tools are all on hand for stunning visuals.

Share your projects and ideas while ensuring security

At any point in the design process, you can save your Canvas documents or export as PDF, both with secure encryption and password protection. Canvas truly puts you in control of your design content by letting you decide who opens, edits, or prints your files.

Work with CGM files and study seismic data

Canvas boasts a CGM engine that is compliant with both the Aviation Transportation Authority (ATA) and Petroleum Industry Protocol (PIP) standards and offers the highest level of fidelity of the vital CGM data. The Canvas™ 11 CGM engine offers the highest level of vital CGM data fidelity and is compliant with Aviation Transportation standards (ATA). Geologists and earth scientists can import seismic data and study it with the integrated Seismic Traces palette.

Make the most of your data

Specialized imaging instrumentation within the medical and other related scientific industries often creates DICOM image files that contain 16 bits of data per grayscale channel. Canvas 11 offers DICOM and RAW import options that target the need to study, enhance, and apply visualization effects to specialized information.

Leverage advanced visualization features

A number of highly specialized filters enable users to visually enhance an image according to user-defined parameters thereby allowing users to see things that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.

Analyze with precision

To understand the results of a research or medical imaging project the vast amount of numerical data within each pixel must be accurately selected, gathered, viewed, and analyzed from within a precise environment. Direct access to numeric data makes the most advanced analysis tasks easy and accurate.

Streamlines Workflow

Simplifies processes by importing files from over 80 standard file formats (including DXF and DWG) directly into Canvas 11. It has never been so easy to bring together all project documents, images, and data (even legacy files from obscure formats or obsolete products) into one unified design environment.

Captures Audiences

Canvas 11 boasts a comprehensive set of award-winning drawing, illustration, and image-editing tools to help visualize and enhance project information. Advanced technologies such as channel masks, vector masks, gradient transparency tools and opacity effects are on hand for stunning visuals.

Simplifies Collaboration

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.

Speeds File Sharing

Throughout the creative process, Canvas 11 provides the ability to share 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.
