ACD Systems Canvas 14

ACD Systems is one of the largest and most respected independent digital image editing and management companies in the world. The company was founded in 1993 in Texas by technology and imaging visionary Doug Vandekerkhove. Doug foresaw the importance of the convergence of analog and digital (print, photos, scans, video and metadata) in the 80’s, revolutionizing how analog and digital information was used in pre-Web applications. Today ACD holds seven patents, and millions of ACDSee products are in use throughout the world.

ACD Systems has offices in the United States and Canada, supported by a team of global channel partners. With a product family that includes ACDSee Pro 6, ACDSee Pro 2 (Mac), ACDSee 16 photo editing and management solutions, and Canvas technical illustration software, the company serves millions of consumers, small and medium sized businesses, government agencies and educational institutions, and corporate customers.

Representative markets for ACD Systems' products include AEC (architecture, engineering and construction), insurance, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, government, architecture/construction, education, gaming, technology, bio/health and oil/gas/energy. Customers include General Motors, Caterpillar, Boeing, The New York City Fire Department, NASA, CNN and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. ACDSee software was used in the making of the movie Titanic because the filmmakers recognized that only ACDSee could provide the illustration, editing and management tools required for their large scale, complex development tasks and image management requirements.

Canvas 14 attribute styles

Edit geometry and position data

Completely control vector object coordinates to ensure the accuracy demanded in many engineering and scientific work environments. Create illustrations from geometric data alone, or blend these precise data controls with more traditional illustration techniques in one seamless work environment. At any time, you can view a vector object’s exact width, height, position, reference point and other coordinates via Canvas 14’s Properties Bar, and adjust its numerical position for true precision.

Canvas 14 position data


Create rich data flowcharts

Canvas 14 view documents

Present visually complex information in a logical and easy to understand format. With Canvas 14's Flowchart palette you can design data flowcharts with unprecedented speed and flexibility. Simply select your symbol size, shape and SmartLine™ attributes, and click to place. Customize your flowchart with connection line and shape editing options to complement the overall look and feel of your document.

ANNOTATE, ENHANCE and DIMENSION

Enhance your technical vision with Canvas 14. Add clarity to your illustration with labels or text, add format dimensions, create dynamic charts, or use Canvas’ unique lens for a more detailed view.


Canvas 14 enhancement

Add format dimensions

Canvas 14's Linear, Chain and Baseline Dimensioning tools precisely control horizontal, vertical, oblique and perpendicular distances; measure diameter, radius, angle, area and perimeter; and mark the centers of arcs and ovals.


 

Add comments and mark-up

Use Canvas 14's annotation tools to add labels or callouts to your diagrams and illustrations, complete with custom and automated options such as single and multiple diagram line connections. And if you re-position the annotation label object, the SmartLines(tm) connecting it to the illustration move right along with it.

Canvas 14 format dimensions

Ensure the highest levels of precision

Work with very small units of measure with engineered accuracy and control. Canvas 14’s drawing engine fully supports the IEEE floating point standard used throughout the scientific, engineering, medical and biotechnology industries. Canvas is indispensable to professionals who work with images that contain up to 32 bits of floating point data per channel.

Work within industry standards

Create dimension objects that fully conform to existing industry and government standards, including:

  • IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer's) floating point standard;
  • ANSI (American National Standards Institute) U.S. Product and industry standards;
  • DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung/German Institute for Standardization) internationally adopted standards;
  • JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) standards.

Customize these standard settings by editing the size of lines, gaps, text and tolerances, modifying them for new and unique workflows, and saving them for ongoing use in similar work contexts.


Canvas 14 text editor

Do more with text

Add professionally formatted and fully editable text to vector objects and raster images. Create multi-page text documents and technical publications using a full range of traditional text formatting, proofing, annotation and style tools.


Work with GIS data

Canvas 14’s optional GIS module offers a powerful set of GIS-based features and commands that support a range of GIS formats, define complex map projections, and perform advanced property operations. It's an indispensable tool for GIS professionals in the oil & gas texand energy sectors, aerospace and automotive industries, education, and government.

Get up close and personal

Canvas’ proprietary SpriteEffects allows you to create lens objects to highlight specific elements of your document. Lenses are powerful containers for effects and can be used to create magnifying glasses and other viewing frames within illustration documents.
 

Create dynamic charts - NEW

Create and customize visually appealing dynamic charts and tables in a variety of formats using data inputted directly into Canvas: no need to import a static, pre-created chart from an external spreadsheet program.  

SHARE

Canvas 14 makes it quick and easy to share your vision with professional publications and presentations, and to work collaboratively with colleagues.


Canvas 14 publishing tools

There's no need to use a separate word processor or layout program when you have Canvas 14. A full range of traditional text formatting and style tools are on hand to help you format pages, create columns, layout text, wrap and bind. Tap into editing, proofing and annotation tools to perfect your copy.


 

Create documents for every purpose

Canvas 14 offers time-saving templates to make it easy to get a head start on any project:

Canvas 14 create documents

IIlustration documents are used for all forms of vector object illustration and raster image creation and editing.

Publication documents let you easily create single or multiple-page technical publications, including two-sided facing pages. Use master pages to hold common page elements. And when you are ready to print, Canvas 14 gives you all the print and color management tools you need for professional-looking output. Presentation documents are for on-screen slide-show presentations. Apply multiple layers, place background elements on a master slide, and choose from over a dozen slide transition effects.

Animation documents are designed for the creation and editing of web (GIF) animation files. Frames adjacent to the current frame appear in the background, helpful for setting up object movement.
 


Collaborate with ease

Share, discuss and develop projects with colleagues in a free-flowing document exchange. Canvas 14's advanced import and export capabilities allow for the return of annotated illustrations to the high-end specialized formats where they originated, without data loss.

Canvas 14 collaboration
