Work With Vector & Raster Images
canvasxdraw’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, canvasxdraw users are able to create professional-looking outputs while preserving complete editing control of all graphical data.
Vector Object Versatility
Experience complete flexibility while working dynamically with vector objects. canvasxdraw’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
canvasxdraw delivers an environment for creating, editing, and enhancing raster images with precision. Work seamlessly with layers, filters, and effects to refine photos or build complex composites. Adjust tone, contrast, and color, add transparency, and paint or clone with total control. By integrating raster and vector tools in one workspace, canvasxdraw ensures your creative vision stays sharp, detailed, and production-ready from start to finish.
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.
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 canvasxdraw.
Drawing With Precision
Canvasxdraw equips you with powerful tools to create scale drawings, floor plans, architectural layouts, and other technical designs with exact accuracy. Snap objects into precise positions, draw from center points, define scales, align elements systematically, and add dimensions with ease.
Drawing with Data
To satisfy the accuracy demanded by engineering and scientific fields, canvasxdraw 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.
Communicate with CAD Files
Import and edit native AutoCAD files with full confidence and precision. canvasxdraw provides CAD-inspired dimensioning tools, advanced snap settings, and intelligent object handling that make it easy to modify and manipulate CAD elements directly within your design environment. Maintain scale, accuracy, and editable geometry while combining CAD objects with vector and raster graphics to create detailed, production-ready illustrations—all without leaving canvasxdraw.
Add objects on the fly
Canvasxdraw 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.

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.
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. Canvasxdraw’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.
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 Help
Never lose your way with Dynamic Help and context-sensitive Canvas Assistant help built right into the application. With canvasxdraw, when you select a tool or function, the corresponding help is made immediately available to you.
Create Documents for every purpose
Canvasxdraw’s templates take the effort out of starting your project. Create documents for illustration, Publication, Presentation, and Animation.
