Vector GFX announced its official launch as an independent software company dedicated to the continued evolution of Canvas X Draw, the industry-standard family of 2D technical illustration tools. The launch follows Vector GFX’s acquisition of the Canvas X Draw product line—including X Draw for Mac and Windows and X Geo—from Canvas GFX, Inc.
The acquisition was financed by Gary Griffiths, co-founder and Managing Director of WISDOM LLP, who formed Vector GFX to bring long-term focus, stability, and renewed investment to one of the most established technical illustration platforms on the market. Griffiths will serve as Chairman of the Board for the new entity.
Joining the leadership team is Rebecca (Becky) Darsch, a co-founder of Vector GFX, who is running all commercial operations. Vector GFX is led by a founding team with deep operational and product expertise rooted in the history of Canvas X Draw. The company expects to share further announcements regarding the expansion of its team throughout the coming months.
"Vector GFX was formed to ensure that Canvas X Draw continues to thrive as a standalone powerhouse," said Griffiths. "By combining our deep roots in the product's history with fresh investment, we are providing the stability our users and partners rely on."
Headquartered in Carver, Massachusetts, Vector GFX is expanding the Canvas X Draw roadmap with immediate priorities that include performance improvements, user experience modernization, and continued innovation for technical illustration professionals.
