If you deal with the multi-CAD, deadline-driven challenges of tooling design or "never-seen-before, won't-see-again" factors of conceptual design, KeyCreator can unlock a new level of productivity.
Companies across a wide variety of sectors, from start-ups to Fortune 50 brands, use Canvas technical illustration software to create optimized and cost-effective documentation workflows
I use the translators on a regular bases and they are great. The price is good compared to other software in the same class.
It does not have tool and die functions, it crashes a lot when doing complex operations.
I am a tool designer and have used CADkey to KeyCreator for many years and the functionality is very friendly for me. The cost value is important a very robust package for the money.
I have used this for 20 years back when it was Cadkey. Surfacing has always been terrible.
One of its greatest advantages is its ability to work with both Auto Desk Inventor and Pro-E Creo native files which are the main softwares used by our engineering and design staff.
There really isn't much I can say that is bad about this product. Larger models may have a tendency to process slowly is about it.
Has just kept getting better. Does exactly what they claim and customer service is excellent and not ‘big company.
This is one of my biggest complaints with the software.
We have used Canvas X to design our beautiful business cards and all of our forms. This year we used it to design an outstanding Christmas card.
The company's effort to update this has lead to the incorporation of changes worse than the original, or that were not adequately 'beta' tested.
If you don't have a dedicated graphics artist or marketing team on staff, this is a great product with easy to use features for most of your needs.
Overall, I can't conceive of using any other package, but while change is unavoidable, some of the so called upgrades are making my life very miserable.
The ability to import my CAD files with very few issues. The cost/performance is good compared with the other Graphics packages available (especially when there is an offer on).
For example the object 'attribute' tool has magically just disappeared from my installation, and can't be recovered. In some 20 years of using the software that type of error has never occured.
My experience with Canvas has been really good. It helps a lot to organize figures for publications.
The most annoying issue is with scroll wheel zooming when you have a selection highlighted.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
