What is design canvas?
Do you often encounter such problems in teamwork?
1. Sketch design drafts can only be saved locally, which is inconvenient for sharing and cooperation. There are too many design drafts and it is difficult to manage resources?
2. Each role cooperates with different tools, and the delivery process is cumbersome and inefficient?
3. Communication is time-consuming and laborious, and breakpoints often occur in project management?
The design canvas is a new product launched by the ink knife team in the form of sketch plug-in around the overall workflow of "upload demonstration review development Annotation" of design and development.
In short, it is a design - R & D online collaboration and delivery tool.

The design canvas supports one click sharing of sketch files to the ink knife platform through plug-ins, which can realize the functions of efficiently uploading manuscripts, automatic labeling, and team members can view comment design drawings online.
Not only the resource management is more convenient, but also the team communication is more efficient, and the design and development are worry free.
Four core functions
The consistent purpose of ink knife is to make team collaboration more efficient. So, design canvas continues to adhere to the principle of high efficiency, and integrates the functions required in the design and development links to make design delivery a simpler thing.
01 efficient upload
The design canvas supports two forms: uploading sketch design draft and uploading local pictures.
Before uploading the sketch design, knife friends need to install the design canvas sketch plug-in (the "design canvas sketch plug-in" only supports MacOS system for the time being).
When uploading, you can select the relevant information of the design drawing, such as the drawing board of the design drawing, the size of the design draft, uploading to the corresponding project, etc.
Among them, the quick upload function can synchronize the sketch page and grouping where the Sketchpad is located.
One function solves the problem that design resources are difficult to manage. There is no need to save them locally and then share them with team members through enterprise wechat and email!
02 fast delivery
1. Automatic marking
The design draft uploaded through the design canvas sketch plug-in will automatically generate annotation information.
Yes, designers no longer need to mark manually!
Just click the layer object to view the location, size, opacity, color, shadow, code and other information of design drawing elements in the annotation information panel on the right.
2. Notes and connection
The design canvas supports the function of adding notes, adding notes in the design draft, and modifying the note color, setting text, adding hyperlinks, setting unordered lists, etc.
At the same time, the design canvas also supports the creation of lines at any position in the canvas, which can more clearly express the logical relationship between sketchboards and more accurately express the design ideas.
The connection function also supports the modification of color, thickness, linetype and endpoint style. You can also add text on the connection.
The design canvas will help users automatically save the version of design drawings. There is no need to worry about data loss. It can also realize the traceability of design drafts. It can't be more intimate!
03 worry free development
As a collaborative tool for design and development, the design canvas includes two modes of design and development, which can realize rapid cutting.
Cut image download is more convenient
After the designer marks the cut of the design drawing and uploads it to the design canvas, the engineer can download all the cut with one click. It supports the download of single cut, drawing board cut and all the cut of the project.
Moreover, the design canvas can also generate multi magnification cut image files, and support JPG, PNG, SVG and PDF formats at the same time.
Sketchpad cut
In short, the functions that users can think of and ink knife can do are all in the design canvas!
04 convenient collaboration
1. Comment on precision and intelligence
In terms of collaborative efficiency, the comment function of designing canvas can be said to be everyone's "favorite".
Project members can mark and create comments on the design draft, which saves worry, time and effort!
The comment supports the input of words and expressions. You can @ project members. The @ member will receive a message prompt in the ink knife station, and you can add a reply below the comment.
When in comment mode, you can filter comment categories in the tag Kanban on the right side of the canvas.
2. Share link permissions
