Creating a New Illustration

If you have Canvas X Draw open already, you can create a new illustration from the File | New menu or by clicking the New Document icon. The New Document dialog box opens so that you can set the document attributes immediately.

To Create a New Document:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Choose File | New.
  2. In the New Document dialog box, choose a template from the Illustration section.
  3. In the Properties bar, further refine your document's specifications as desired, such as:
    • Paper size and unit
    • Portrait or landscape orientation
    • Rulers
    • Number format
  4. If you are drawing an illustration to scale, set the drawing scale or drawing size.
  5. To define further settings, such as paper color and type of document, choose Layout | Document Setup.
  6. Click OK.
