Opening and Running Multiple Instances of Canvas X Draw

Opening and Running Multiple Instances of Canvas X Draw

You can configure Canvas X Draw to automatically open in a new instance each time you create or open a document. This can be useful for accelerating workflow.

To Create a New Document in a New Instance of Canvas X Draw:

  1. Choose File | New.
  2. In the New Document dialog box, select the Open in a new application window checkbox.
  3. Click OK.

To Open a File in a New Instance of Canvas X Draw:

  1. Choose File | Open.
  2. In the Open dialog box, select the Open in a new Canvas X Draw application window checkbox.
  3. Click Open.

When multiple files are selected, all files will be opened in the same instance.

Synchronization of Setting Changes:
