Collect
images, sketches, drawings and links
A place for your stuff
We all need a place to save what inspires us. Whether it's a photo, a link to a product we'd like to use, a sketch we made or a precedent project, it is part of our day to day as a designer to collect these things.
What you can do:
- Copy and paste images
- Copy and paste links to products websites
- Drag and drop drawings in dwg and dxf formats
Combine,
edit, crop, mirror, layer
A place where you can be messy, while staying organized
Combining, matching, pairing and separating images, drawings or products is the first step in developing a design. We should have a digital space that makes this as easy as it is do it in real life.
What you can do:
- Resize, crop & remove background
- Align, distribute, mirror
- Layer, move forward & backward
Lay out,
arrange & plan
Make quick & accurate layouts, beautifully
2D drawings tend to be highly undervalued these days. Well, excuse us, but we disagree. Drawings, layouts and testfits are wonderfully effective ways of understanding space. 2D should live alongside 3D, not be replaced by it.
What you can do:
- Draw lines, polylines, circles and polygons
- Change line weights, line types, colors and fills
- Import and export .dwg, .dxf and .3dm vector drawings
Present
& share pixel perfect slides
Present your work for feedback & decision making
2D drawings tend to be highly undervalued these days. Well, excuse us, but we disagree. Drawings, layouts and testfits are wonderfully effective ways of understanding space. 2D should live alongside 3D, not be replaced by it.
What you can do:
- Create frames for each slide in your presentation
- Combine drawings, images, text and specs
- Easily export as image files or pdfs
Share & collaborate
Make design multi-player
Copying a url to share with your team or customer is par for the course these days with other types of documents. Why not for design?
What you can do:
- Invite editors, commenters and viewers to your canvas
- Create a public link so anyone can view
- Share a link with anyone
Track,
schedule, & edit products
Create, share & manage real product specifications
Canvas isn't just points, lines and images. Canvas' architecture understands product semantics allowing the designer to upload, create and download real specifications at any time throughout their design process.
What you can do:
- Create a product from a scratch or start with an image
- Edit fields like name, price, model number, lead time and more
- Create or import a drawing for the product specification
good design is never done alone
