Link Manager (with hotspots)
Add hyperlinks to documents and then export
them. Create links throughout Canvas documents,
making them out of graphics, images, or text.
Then export to PDF or HTML with the links intact.
You can also create hotspots (linked regions
within graphics) for PDF export. Use Canvas 12 to
add interactivity and connectivity to your
technical documents.
Page Navigator
Easily move within multiple page documents. In
the Page Navigator palette you can instantly
navigate within multiple page Illustration,
Publication, Animation and Presentation
documents. Just click on a page thumbnail. Page
Navigator is both dockable and floatable for extra
convenience.
Improved Flowchart tools
Create rich data flowcharts almost automatically.
With the Flowchart palette you can make data
flowcharts with new speed and flexibility. Just
choose your symbol size, shape, and Smart Line
attributes, and click to place. Then click
repeatedly in the document at the points where
you want your flowchart to appear. It’s almost
automatic, and yet it allows for custom design
flexibility too with a wide variety of connection line
and shape editing options. You can customize
how your flowcharts will look ahead of time, or
edit them after the fact. Present complex and
visually rich information in a logical and easy to
understand flow.
