Canvas 12 User Guide
Smart Vector Fill
Color visually-enclosed regions created by overlapping objects. When
overlapping object shapes create a new shape where they intersect, you can
now instantly select this shape, and color it, with just one click. This
eliminates the need to redraw these regions as standalone objects before
selecting a fill ink.
Smart Join
Use the new Smart Join command to quickly rejoin segmented objects into a
singular object.
Precise perimeter-based illustration scaling
Quickly and accurately scale illustrations numerically. Scale simple vector objects based on area or
perimeter values. Simply enter a value in the Scale By Area/Perimeter dialog box, choose Percentage
or Absolute, and click a different origin point if desired. You can even scale a pen weight.
Even greater workflow integration
Canvas 12 provides an integrated and highly precise technical illustration and publishing
environment which enables you to manipulate and visualize technical data. You can import over 100
file formats, from the most common to the most specialized, and export to over 80 formats and
presentation media. With Canvas 12, this capability has been extended even further.
