Books on Canvas Canvas Training CDs Deneba Canvas 6 has full layers support. In Canvas you can edit three kinds of documents - illustration, publication and presentation documents. Illustration documents contain sheets and each sheet is composed of layers. Publications contain pages and each page is composed of layers.
Presentations are a series of slides and each slide is composed of layers.
In this basic tutorial, we will examine the use of layers in an illustration document. Layers are managed in the Document Layout palette. On the bottom left side of the palette is a button to add a new sheet. Upon doing so, Canvas adds a new layer and assigns it a number. To activate a layer simply click the layer in the palette.
