About Canvas X Draw

Canvas X Draw is a graphic design software that helps businesses design and edit vector graphics using digital painting tools. The platform enables administrators to apply transparency effects and clone pixels to edit images on a unified interface.

Managers can apply personalized fonts, shapes, color and texture patterns to create layouts for various publications and flyers. Canvas X Draw offers an auto trace module, which allows teams to convert raster images into vector illustrations. Additionally, operators can utilize the point and click functionality to add curved or straight lines and draw custom shapes.

Canvas X Draw lets businesses blend multiple colors, cut paths between two points and create customizable templates for brochures and flow charts. Pricing is based on annual subscriptions and one-time license basis and support is extended via FAQs, video tutorials, knowledge base, phone, email and an online contact form.

Canvas

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.

Reasons for switching to Canvas X Draw

Integrated functionality.

Awesome design software

I like Canvas X Draw and it's more professional and precise than previous products that we had used. We were able to create beautiful high quality designs for our business and our events. There are occasionally some technical issues however they don't impact it in an extreme way. I would recommend it!

Functionality

Pros:

The best thing is that it has a lot of capabilities but is still simple to use. We were able to create our own designs instead of paying someone else to do it. Learning tools are offered and are very helpful if you're beginner to intermediate level. The vector is strong and allows for precision which is vital. We actually used this software to make our logo and it turned out great.

Cons:

The only con is that there are some malfunctions. The toolbox jumps all over the screen and sometimes I can't use it at all. Sometimes when trying to import a PDF it fails or takes a long time.

Reasons for choosing Canvas X Draw

The prices were affordable with Canvas and we loved the demo

My go to tool for technical illustrations

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

I have been using Canvas for over 30 years. Over time, it has become more complex with a more cluttered interface. But it remains at its core, a wonderful tool for producing technical illustrations. And it remains my go to tool for creating maps and geologic sections.

Cons:

Currently there is a limit on the size of files that you can open in Canvas Draw. You cannot open files that are 2 Gb or larger. The problem is that you can build and save a document in Canvas Draw that exceeds this limit. If you save it as a 1.9 Gb file you can open that, but once it gets larger than 2 Gb, it no longer opens. Most users will never encounter this, but I did.

Functionality

Pros:

I like that the software allows the user to change fine details in figures and images.

Cons:

There is no software that is compatible with both Mac and PC, so I had to purchase two copies, one for work and one for home/laptop. Also, one of the best features is the functionality, but it also comes across as a little confusing in accessing some "hidden" features.

Reasons for choosing Canvas X Draw

Because it is used by my boss and co-workers.

CanvasXDraw is the best there is for scientific drawings

I use LibreOffice, and CXD's ability to output SVG files is extremely important.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

I use CXD for making scientific/optical drawings for books that I write and for classes that I teach. It does exactly what I want in that it's easy to use, precise, and has the features that I need for my technical drawings. I've tried the other drawing packages, and CXD is by far the easiest. It is intuitive, unlike all others that I've tried. I've used versions of Canvas on my Mac for decades, and I am extremely happy with it, even after all these years.

Cons:

I have a difficult time coming up with something that I don't like about it. If anything I'd like custom Arrows to be easier to make.

Reasons for switching to Canvas X Draw

CXD is so much easier, but has for me the same required features.

Have used Canvas for about 20 years, still like it.

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

Intuitive interface, vector graphics, ease of use, ability to combine bit mapped images with vector graphics. An intuitive interface makes it easy to create scale-diagrams, where you specify precise size of each object. For example, furniture/equipment layout in a room or shop, design of furniture, landscaping layout, etc. Wide variety of file output options.

Cons:

Previous version of the program had some stability issues. So far, X Draw seems stable.

Reasons for choosing Canvas X Draw

I find Illustrator to not be as intuitive as Canvas. Also is not as easy to create scale diagrams.
