3D Files Meet 2D Views with Canvas X3 CADComposer
/Canvas GFX Inc. is back at it and has made major improvements in the newest version of their Canvas software, Canvas X3 CADComposer. Having just launched on December 3, this software is a powerful graphics program with many technical image editing tools. As always, this program can handle vector and raster images; however, most notably, this new version now allows users to import 3D CAD files to give 2D illustrator power to a 3D image. I had the opportunity to test out the program with different 3D files, and I found several interesting program features.
When you open the Canvas X3 CADComposer program, you are greeted by a standard welcome screen. If you want to open an already existing file, you are in luck, because CADComposer will accept 75 different file types. However, if you want to open a 3D file, this isn’t the place to do it; if you try, you’ll get an error message.
