Avis clients sur Canvas X Draw

Le meilleur logiciel de graphisme pour marketing

Commentaires : Canvas X draw me permet de gagner en temps et de faire également d'économie par la même occasion.

Avantages :

Ma préférée est la superposition d'images. Elle permet d'offrir aux clients, à travers un même visuel, des faces différentes d'un même produit ou sujet.

Inconvénients :

Le logiciel est certes cool, mais il se plante parfois lorsqu'on travaille avec des fichiers lourds. En plus la fonctionnalité de retouche est plutôt basique à mon avis. On n'a pas une certaine largesse quand il s'agit d'être beaucoup plus professionnel .

un très bon logiciel pour les plan

Avantages :

Il est facile, ouvre différent format comme PDF, autocad

Inconvénients :

la banque des objets prédéfinie est faible.

highly recommended helps to organize the drawing in the document, very practical

Commentaires : in my opinion it is very good, and completes the tools, the charts and graphs they have are easy to use and practical, with a precise interpretation of the data

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Critique of Canvas X Draw

Commentaires : I love Canvas and have been an active user since the mid-1990's! I am a MAC user and was EXTREMELY happy when Canvas for Mac was reestablished a few years ago!

Avantages :

This software compares very favorably with CorelDraw but is less expensive and in my opinion much easier to use!

Inconvénients :

In my business I do graphics or applique's for athletic and travel bags requiring multiple layers. I find the "Offset Path" function sadly lacking. "Offset Path" can only be used for what I consider very simple polygons and not more complex figures such as lettering or anything that has multiple edges/rounded curves, and punchouts. As a result, I also need to use CorelDraw to apply their "Contour" function. Also I find the "Extrude" function in Canvas X Draw unwieldy! In my bag design I like to create a 3-D effect to show clients what their end product looks like! Unless the operator has a good feel for 3-D coordinates this is problematic. I like the "Extrude" function from CANVAS in the '90's where not only could you apply a 3-D effect, but the individual panels could be ungrouped, color applied, and then reassembled into a finished product. Also there is a typo in the "Arrowhead" attributes editor under "Full". It says "Buttom" rather than "Bottom".

OK, But Still Not What It Once Was....

Commentaires : it provides a wonderful way to say something nasty to Adobe

Avantages :

compatibility; swiss-army knife capability; easy to use

Inconvénients :

no parity with the windoze version, which remains ironic, since it was macOS first

Hate Aggravator, but Love Canvas!

Commentaires : Been using Canvas for many years to make publishable figures and graphics for scientific presentations. All editions of canvas have been super easy and intuitive to use, this latest version being no exception. Importing graphs from other programs also go in clean and easy. I've used other programs and everything gets scrambled and you need to be a high level graphic artist to use these. Canvas is good for novices on up. Edits are quick and easy in canvas. You can make beautiful elaborate figures or keep it simple. Export is clean too. Save as a PDF or other file and everything you see in the canvas document is conserved. Aggravator doesn't ever work this well.

Avantages :

Ease of use is number 1. The way the program is laid out is very intuitive. Lines draw the first time and when you click on something it actually selects it. Layers work too! Competitors software (aka Adobe Aggravator) need years of training to draw a simple line. Canvas just works the first time. I very much appreciate that new versions work like the old ones. You've added features but kept the old ones in place and they work the same. No hunting, no "where did they put that" or "it used to be able to".

Inconvénients :

I do wish there were more fill options for shapes. Also I typically have to convert the canvas files to another file type to print especially if they are being printed on a large format plotter. Older versions had trouble "talking" to HP plotters, but will have to see how the latest version works. It also has some trouble reading really old canvas files.

Affordable dimensioning drawing with full functionality

Commentaires : I prepared numerous PowerPoint presentations and found that Canvas was so superior to the drawing tools in PPT. It helped me design our new home and even our cabinetmaker was impressed with the detail and accuracy of Canvas. Now I mostly use it for woodwork projects.
Very impressed with how they keep up with the MAC software changes. Other companies (like MYOB) just gave up.

Avantages :

It’s intuitive and has an excellent instruction manual with a very helpful start for first time users. One of the few affordable MAC drawing programs with accurate dimensions for technical drawings or even for planning the next woodwork project. Multiple layers are a breeze. If you want to extend your drawing capability, Canvas has the capacity to go all the conceptions.

Inconvénients :

I have used this product through my whole working life as an educator in Radiology. Each version was incrementally better. There is nothing about it I don’t like.

Better than it was, still not great

Commentaires : It works for what I do, mostly technical drawings. I had been looking for another app when it looked like Deneba was going to drop support for Canvas and Mac. I am glad they stuck with it and came up with a good upgrade

Avantages :

The drawing/drafting portion is very good, and has gotten much better through all the iterations from Canvas X onward. It mostly all just works, drawing, importing, exporting. It is pretty intuitive, especially if you have used other drawing apps. It is now at a place i wish it had been several years ago. The team seems to finally thrown their support behind this version for the Mac and I hope it continues. I don't use the page layout part very much, but it seems to be ok.

Inconvénients :

The photo editing part is terrible, not much changed over the years. It is usable for very simple tasks. Not anywhere close to Photoshop, which I usually fall back to if I need to do anything involved. It could use a lot of work to improve it.

All-in-one that works

Commentaires : I have been a Canvas user for a very ling time, beginning in the 90s. The software grew well, but then dropped off the stage for a while until resurrected. I was very happy to see it return. I have the full suite of Adobe products at my disposal, but I like Canvas for its combined capabilities in one software package. I hope it continues to grow.

Avantages :

It is very helpful for me, using a mixed bag of design elements, to stay within one package for graphic design elements, text, and images with a full suite of effects and capabilities. The results look professional and well-executed by the software, with a good selection of tools for my projects.

Inconvénients :

The Mac version has lagged a bit over the years, but is improving now that its base has been re-established. Minor software bugs appear, but the updates are reasonably spaced to keep it working well.

Good Functionality

Commentaires : a

Avantages :

I like that the software allows the user to change fine details in figures and images.

Inconvénients :

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.

CanvasXDraw is the best there is for scientific drawings

Commentaires : I use LibreOffice, and CXD's ability to output SVG files is extremely important.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Interesting merge of vector and CAD ilustration tool

Commentaires : In our magazine we use Canvas X Draw for chart ilustration making. It works perfectly and charts/graphs are very nice and with precise interpretation of data. For us, it is very important.

Avantages :

CAD file import and postediting in Canvas X Draw document is the most "welcome" in vector illustrating tools market. Canvas open numerous different CAD formats, and you can easily integrate that illustrations in you design.

Inconvénients :

Canvas X Draw did not support UNICODE ... and it is the greatest problem with all standalone versions till now.

Finally a good Canvas for MAC

Commentaires : I am happy with it since now I can use my MAC for everyday work and to open Canvas instead of keeping one windows machine only for Canvas (that is what I have in my office since I just hate working in windows machine that do not support Emacs interface).

Avantages :

The interface looks almost exactly as the windows version. I happen to have used windows version more often because there was no acceptable version for MAC till this version.

Inconvénients :

What I don't like: 1. The font size for the interface is very small and hard to read. 2. Can not save in eps format Needing to save in .cvd not .cvx so now I have two versions of my graphics. One for windows machines and one for MAC machines. I happen to use both but would halve preferred to use one Canvas file format for both (like MS Word, Power Point, Excel, etc). Is this too much to ask or even dream about?

Canvas Draw for Education

Commentaires : I have used Canvas Draw on the Mac ever since it came out in the 90's. I have used every version developed for the Mac since 1.0 I operated a hands-on mathematics assembly program in K–8 schools using HUNDREDS of instruction handouts. I have used the vector, raster, and presentation features of to make 12 to 24 student graphic oriented task cards for each of over 60 math activity stations. It's been rare that I find something I can't do in Canvas Draw.

Avantages :

I like that it contains features of vector, raster, and presentation graphics all in one program.

Inconvénients :

A single license only allows a user to install and use the software on one computer. I use two, a laptop and a desktop computer, so only allowing use on one is very limiting for me since I switch back and forth. Users should be allowed two installations.

Combines the two other graphics programs I was using

Commentaires : Easy to learn and use.

Avantages :

I started using Canvas 30 years ago instead of illustrator. I Love Canvas vs Photoshop and Illustrator which I still have to use sometimes when it is required for advertising, etc. Much prefer to use Canvas and I wish it were more widely used by Printers. It is so much easier to use and learn than either Photoshop or Illustrator. That files can be saved in so many formats is a plus. I haven't tried with the animated GIF's yet. For advertising, I am able to get the file sizes smaller than Illustrator, InDesign etc.

Inconvénients :

In some ways I miss the old Canvas 10. This Canvas quits on me sometimes with larger files. Very little to complain about with this app. Doesn't have the same intuitiveness that the old Canvas had when doing large documents or manuals.

Canvas Draw

Commentaires : Other than the learning curve previously mentioned, I have had no serious difficulties with this software.

Avantages :

Canvas Draw provides an excellent tool for design and drawing that includes both Vector and raster graphics capabilities- this was critical to my personal decision because it was required to work with our Laser cutter and 3-D printers. Additionally it has allowed me to easily take my visions for furniture and such and create layouts for them.

Inconvénients :

As with any professional software, the learning curve constantly grows as the capabilities expand. As a retired faculty, it takes me longer to acquire the skills necessary to remain fully competent with the software. On the other hand, there are a number of resources to assist with developing the skills needed to make this software function at its optimum level. The other issue that I am still undecided about is the transition from purchase to subscription software.

LOVE THIS SOFTWARE!!!!

Commentaires : As a LONG time user... found this software while I was still using a desktop Macintosh:-) I have found it to be extremely flexible and my one-stop-software for designing everything I need as a singer-songwriter. Graphics for website. Memes. Banners for social media. Posters, flyers. CD packaging! I simply love this software:-)

Avantages :

Back and available for Macintosh users! It's a combination, page layout, graphic design, word/text creation and editing and a photo/art toolkit ALL wrapped into one!

Inconvénients :

Honestly, there is nor has been much. The biggest challenge I have had with this software was removing Macintosh users availability (which is now back... THANK YOU!) The only other challenge I have had with this software are the crashes and issues with remembering my user name/PW combination. This was early in the Mac reintroduction. I've not experience these lately.

A Pro App combining vector and rastor tools

Commentaires : Maps via desktop tracing and redrawing and integrating with say Open source software (although GIS option if cheaper wouod be great). Book illustrations, charts, graphics, logo making, posters and exhibition displays. Good colour mangement. Good file import not in Canvas Draw Mac ie Shape and SVG files. On Mac version I was having trouble with gradient fills and HTM exports plus othjer crashes when using measurements. But since Beta for Draw 2 these have been improved so happy (VERY) to stay Mac.

Avantages :

For me the polygon drawing tools. The ability to add a GIS componemt for mapping. The variety of cvtools and their intuitive implementation and ease of use.

Inconvénients :

Export to HTML (web pages). At one tome it was leading edge but has not develped. The three choices and how it implements CSS, centre and normal all have imperfctions ie fuzzy fonts unless you tell it never to render, inconsistent URL links, loss over earlier versions maintaining list of URLs used, sometimes does not make link on htm/html page. Unable to set htm or html as preference.

The Swiss Army knife that just works

Commentaires : I know it so well, it is almost always a good experience.

Avantages :

I've used Canvas for upwards of 25 years - seriously. I love the combo of vector drawing and bitmap editing, on one canvas. Layout and scaling is so nice. Like a lot of tools, it is how familiar one is with the options (and Canvas has a lot) that matters. It just works when I need to make a graphic for personal or professional use.

Inconvénients :

Functionally, Canvas hasn't really changed over last 5+ years. I wish the licensing hadn't moved to annual subscription (though I understand). I tend to upgrade mainly for OS compatibility, and now extend my license for same purpose.

The ideal graphic software tool for presenting geophysical (engineering seismic) dataWe

Avantages :

We have been using CANVAS on WINDOWS for more than 25 years and are quite happy to have an equivalent and compatible graphic software package running on Mac computers

Inconvénients :

It doesn't (yet) have all the GIS features as in the CANVAS 17 version on Windows PCs

CANVAS an excellent software for preparation of research figures

Commentaires : Good

Avantages :

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

Inconvénients :

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

Designing

Commentaires : I have designed needlework patterns and sold them worldwide since 1991. I have always used Canvas.

Avantages :

Producing step by step instructions with the layers

Inconvénients :

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

Excellent drafting program for MAC users

Commentaires : I've a MAC computer and use CANVAS X Draw for technical publications, proposals, and book chapters.

Avantages :

The ability to copy and paste equations from WORD

Inconvénients :

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'.

Canvas user since version 3.5

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Using Canvas X Draw

Commentaires : Overall, I love the program. But in my use, I have just scratched the surface of what it is capable of.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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