About Canvas X Draw Documents

In Canvas X Draw, you can create several different types of documents:

  • Illustrations
  • Publications
  • Presentations

For technical illustrations, the Illustration document type provides all the features and tools you need to create and enhance illustrations and save them in a wide range of file types. However, if you need to use your technical illustrations for another purpose, such as in an annual report, Canvas X Draw provides the Publication document type with additional tools to simplify your workflow.

Illustrations

The most commonly-used format, Illustration documents are the basis for most Canvas X Draw technical illustrations.

Illustration documents are general-purpose documents for all types of illustrations and graphics. You can specify a custom document size, and the document can have multiple pages (called sheets), with multiple layers on each sheet.

Publications

Publish documents using one of the standard paper sizes or a custom size. Specify full pages or facing pages, or choose one of the standard templates to create brochures, flyers, labels, magazine pages, and more.

Publication documents are designed for publications printed with two-sided (facing) pages, although you can also create a Publication that has pages with single sides. You can use master pages to hold items that you want to appear throughout the publication. You can also use multiple layers on each page.

Presentations

Presentations and slideshows provide a powerful way of displaying technical data.

Presentation documents are designed for on-screen slideshow presentations. You can use multiple layers and a master slide to hold background elements. You can use a variety of transition effects during slide show playback.
