Canvas X Draw Reviews

Easy to use. Great options to organise and arrange the figures. Possibilities to save in several different formats.

Hard to find pictures commonly used in research as a cartoon already in canvas. Can not convert figures made in mac to windows.

Very versatile, good file format compatibility, excellent for 2D technical drawings, many unique features. Wish list - better/quicker Mac development, 3D support.

The interface feels dated. I would prefer if the standard keyboard shortcuts adhered better to industry standards (ie Adobe). Metric sometimes feels like an afterthought. I've used Canvas since the original version 3, development hasn't been particularly impressive since then (20 + years...)

I have used various iterations of Canvas since the late 1990s. It is hands down the most powerful, versatile, and user-friendly software product for scientists. I have used it throughout the years for image construction, figure arrangement, and scientific poster creation. It is my go-to solution for all of my publication needs. I have used this software to open files created with previous versions of Canvas that were more than 15 years old.

There is very little that this software cannot do.

Producing step by step instructions with the layers

I do not having any negative comments about the software. It has been the best for me from the beginning.

Long term user, very familiar with the software package.

Software is fine to me as it was when I was able to use it before updating to Big Sur!

I like it a lot because it makes it easier for me to organize my projects at work, the tools are very good and advanced

that sometimes it stops, only that hangs but only on occasions

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.

My yearly subscription seems to be mixed up, but nothing to do with the SW. IT ROCKS.

The ability to copy and paste equations from WORD

The inability to graph an equation, like y = f(x). This graphic limitation forces me to use a third party product for graphics to follow by a 'copy and paste'.

Il est facile, ouvre différent format comme PDF, autocad

la banque des objets prédéfinie est faible.

Its versatility and capability to accomplish a wide variety of drawing/illustrating

The photo cropping tool is not very intuitive

its easy-to-use style and its great tools with very simple use for the user

tool rents need improvement for a fluid flow of their resources to the user and updating tools more often

Canvas is unrivaled in its ease of use in combining vector and image graphics. For presentations, it allows me to combine complicated text and equation (via LaTeX) with detailed graphics from CAD applications to Photoshop images. Output to standard graphics formats works well.

Some features are lacking compared to the Windows version of Canvas or even Canvas X for MacOS, for example Math Expression Plot.

Has many features but be easily operative.

Bring all parts together for a composite figure, and each part can be feasibly controlled in size, moved in precision, labeled feasibly, and aligned well.

It is free form. For example, using layers you can trace over JPEGs and create a vector object. It can do almost anything you wish to do with a graphic program. It is also fast.

Stability was an issue early on. that has been fixed! It has met all my needs thus far.

Its interface and tools are user friendly and relatively esay to learn and use especially for users who go all the way back to old Canvas 3.5.

There are more crashes than I expected, but almost all data are saved when crashed occur. There are times when some of the tools/shortcuts fail to work (e.g., cloning).

I have been using Canvas for modifying and creating images for my teaching slides for over 20 years. I am a Mac user and was very upset when they stopped supporting the Mac product and I was very happy when they introduced Canvas Draw.

It can be difficult to figure out how to do some things and the manual isn't always helpful.

All in one capability. It runs native on the Mac.

Photo manipulation is a little long in the tooth compared to some of the new products on the market. Doesn't seem to have all the functionality of the PC version but good enough for my purposes. It doesn't presently run on the iPad but, if it did, it would be super wonderful.

Replaces Photoshop Illustrator and Indesign for companies that do not need perfectly exact compatibility with big printing companies

A bit slow on following Apple new system versions

This software is packed with features. More then I will use as my use of the program is to design maintenance work for the maintenance department and for small contractor projects. I love the layers feature this program has.

To be honest the cons I have is that I am still learning this program. I have used other computer assisted programs and this one is quite good without a real steep learning curve. Having said that there is still more for me to learn as I have not yet reached its full potential. Still, several projects have been successfully completed being designed by me using Canvas X Draw.

Easy to use Can be used to review Files sent by AutoCad users

Has occasionally crashed causing me to lose unsaved work

Ability to work with a variety of graphic formats.

It crashes more than it should (i.e. 1:20)

I've always loved the combination of vector graphics and image software in one package that I get with Canvas and its availability to Mac users. I also like the interface and constant improvements that are now being made.

Integration with Powerpoint and Prism software apps are functionalities that are lacking and greatly desired.

Canvas has extensive tools for both vector and bitmap graphics, which combined make it a one-stop solution for all my graphics needs. Very deep zoom levels and fractional alignment let me get things exactly right. I've used this software for everything from documenting wire layouts to high-precision logo work.

I'm not sure of any "cons". I don't think I have ever started a project in Canvas and then gone to a different graphics package because of limitations.

Ease of use - pixel and SVG mixed - multipage - clear menus

Not enough templates - autotrace not so good... not enough Web export possibilities... Old UI...

Using this SW since early 2000 - easy handle and possibility having a Drawing platform on the Mac...

Little details - but I might not have read the right section of the Manual...
