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. > > **Cons**: My yearly subscription seems to be mixed up, but nothing to do with the SW. IT ROCKS. > > I work in product design, engineering and manufacturing. Canvas allows me a consistent way to communicate thru the lifecycle, and share that in an effective way with my eco-partners. ----- ### "Awesome design software" — 5.0/5 > **Kaitlyn** | *19 July 2022* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing is that it has a lot of capabilities but is still simple to use. We were able to create our own designs instead of paying someone else to do it. Learning tools are offered and are very helpful if you're beginner to intermediate level. The vector is strong and allows for precision which is vital. We actually used this software to make our logo and it turned out great. > > **Cons**: The only con is that there are some malfunctions. The toolbox jumps all over the screen and sometimes I can't use it at all. Sometimes when trying to import a PDF it fails or takes a long time. > > I like Canvas X Draw and it's more professional and precise than previous products that we had used. We were able to create beautiful high quality designs for our business and our events. There are occasionally some technical issues however they don't impact it in an extreme way. I would recommend it\! ----- ### "My go to tool for technical illustrations" — 3.0/5 > **Tom** | *5 February 2021* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Canvas for over 30 years. Over time, it has become more complex with a more cluttered interface. But it remains at its core, a wonderful tool for producing technical illustrations. And it remains my go to tool for creating maps and geologic sections. > > **Cons**: Currently there is a limit on the size of files that you can open in Canvas Draw. You cannot open files that are 2 Gb or larger. The problem is that you can build and save a document in Canvas Draw that exceeds this limit. If you save it as a 1.9 Gb file you can open that, but once it gets larger than 2 Gb, it no longer opens. Most users will never encounter this, but I did. ----- ### "Good Functionality" — 5.0/5 > **Jamal** | *1 February 2021* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that the software allows the user to change fine details in figures and images. > > **Cons**: There is no software that is compatible with both Mac and PC, so I had to purchase two copies, one for work and one for home/laptop. Also, one of the best features is the functionality, but it also comes across as a little confusing in accessing some "hidden" features. > > a ----- ### "CanvasXDraw is the best there is for scientific drawings" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *16 February 2021* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use CXD for making scientific/optical drawings for books that I write and for classes that I teach. It does exactly what I want in that it's easy to use, precise, and has the features that I need for my technical drawings. I've tried the other drawing packages, and CXD is by far the easiest. It is intuitive, unlike all others that I've tried. I've used versions of Canvas on my Mac for decades, and I am extremely happy with it, even after all these years. > > **Cons**: I have a difficult time coming up with something that I don't like about it. If anything I'd like custom Arrows to be easier to make. > > I use LibreOffice, and CXD's ability to output SVG files is extremely important. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190093/canvas-x-draw?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190093/canvas-x-draw) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
