Scan N Cut Saturday – Windows Installable Workspace + New Features

John - Gentleman Crafter39 Comments

Well, quite excited about a couple of things today as Brother have released a Windows Installable Version of their Canvas Workspace and have also added a couple of useful extras to that version too.

Last night I went through the whole process of finding it, downloading, installing and taking a look around and also remembered to record that event so, if you’re interested and you’ve got a brew I will happily share that with you.

Before I do though, let me list here my three FAVE things about this installable versions.

  1. We can now use all fonts from our computer DIRECTLY IN Canvas Workspace AND they are editable too!
  2. We can now Snap to grid AND align on X and Y Axis – perfect for designing!
  3. Layers panel – this allows us to quickly reorder and change the draw/cut function for any particular layer!

Also, if you would like to get hold of a Scan N Cut machine, or any of the accessories, why not pop over to Create & Craft TV’s website to check out the full range of goodies.

Ok, pre-amble rambled, here is my exploration – as it happened!

So, anyway, hope you enjoyed that and that you can see the benefits of the update too.

  2. Thank you John. I guess we have to transfer all our cloud based projects onto our PC version if we want to use them in the future. It will be time to do some weeding !!!

  4. I installed it and used it tonight with no prior info. I have to admit I liked the older version where I could view my projects, etc. I’m not sure I like this new version yet.

  7. Hi John, many thanks for your help in downloading the new Canvas, however I have downloaded and when the application opens It just keep saying launching and doesn’t open. I am running windows7 and selected this option, I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but just the same. If you could give any advice I would really appreciate it
    Regards

    • Hi Wendy. I have received other comments from Windows 7 despite it being said that it works with that version of the OS. I would suggest contacting Brother support team via the link on the Canvas web page as I am not equipped to provide technical support. If I hear anything I will post it on here. :)

  8. Thanks John – I looked at this yesterday but I couldn’t find this and that – e.g. weld. Having a look at it with you has made a world of difference. Thank you.

  9. Ive never used canvas before or designed anything of my own to download to my machine…so I found this quick look very valuable. I will download it to my pc and look forward to your future tutorials on the subject of canvas John. I find your teaching style very clear, simple and easy to follow and thank you so much John for taking the time to show us in layman’s terms and explaining the jargon to someone who isn’t very good on tech things…brilliant!

  11. Interesting I especially like the idea of having all of my fonts to hand I think it will save me time in loading up complete alphabets as a project and trying to manipulate them etc

  12. Thanks for this John. I’m off to install it on my pc now. Like Phylliselias, I’d like to know how to access my own projects on this, is it just a case of opening them from your pc documents?

  13. Thanks so much, again, John, for a very useful guide. I have installed the new version on the Chrome internet, and kept the older version on the IE version (have them both on my PC, as something works better on one than the other). The new version doesn’t seem to have my own projects on it though, so is there a way I can access them on the new version?
