Can Canvas X Draw for Mac run on computers using the M1 chip?

Overview: Canvas X Draw will run on Apple M1 chip computers using Apple's Rosetta 2 technology. We do not have a timetable for the native platform at this time. 

Applies To: Canvas X Draw (Mac)

Our team has optimized Canvas X Draw (macOS Edition) to run more efficiently across macOS systems. Even when running under Rosetta, memory usage remains stable with no detected leaks during profiling, and the improvements provide a noticeable boost in long-session performance.

 
🔧 Key Improvements
      •    Enhanced memory management for smoother long-session performance.
      •    Clear visual indicators to identify modified documents.
      •    Restored Option + Tab shortcut for Zoom In.
      •    Adjustable Layout Box with improved layer navigation.
      •    More reliable alignment between text and vector objects.
      •    Improved PNG file compatibility.
      •    Faster edit-node response in Extrude effects.
 
🛠 Fixes You’ll Appreciate
      •    Resolved crashes related to text, object shadows, and imported PDFs.
      •    Improved UI stability with legacy or heavily edited documents.
      •    Fixed file preview issues in macOS Sequoia by adding new App Extensions.
      •    Corrected quitting behavior on macOS 15.2.
      •    Eliminated delays caused by memory leaks during extended use.
      •    Fixed display issues in gradient fills and master page text.
      •    More consistent modifier key behavior across tools.
 
This release is a major step forward in stability, speed, and overall usability for our valued macOS users—and we can’t wait for you to experience it!
