Technical Details for Deneba Canvas X

Deneba Canvas X ... technical illustrations and graphics find themselves increasingly challenged by the need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues and clients on very complex, mission critical projects. To further complicate matters, these initiatives may need to be managed across different time zones, using a variety of software applications, and even different operating systems. In these situations, the collaborative process must be reliable, accurate, flexible, and cost-effective.

In response to these growing needs, Canvas X has emerged as a unique, affordable, cross-platform solution designed to help you.

With Canvas, you can quickly simplify your work process by directly importing files from over 80 standard file formats (including DXF and DWG), or simply using the Canvas Print Driver to print any document into a Canvas file for easy modification or enhancement. Bringing together all your project documents, images, and data (even legacy files from obscure formats or obsolete products) into one unified design environment has never been so easy.

Plus, Dimensioning tools automate the cumbersome process of measuring dimensions and eliminate conversion errors from manual calculations.

A comprehensive set of award-winning drawing, illustration, and image -editing tools help visualize and enhance your project information. Plus, Canvas' proprietary Sprite Technologies enable you to apply transparency effects and image editing filters to text, objects, and illustrations without rendering - all objects remain completely editable.
