ACD Systems Expands Its Software Suite with ACDSee VectraDraw, a New Vector Design and Desktop Publishing Application

VICTORIA, BC (July 29th, 2026) – ACD Systems International Inc. is proud to announce the release of ACDSee VectraDraw, a new professional-grade vector graphics design and desktop publishing application that combines illustration, page layout, and document publishing into one streamlined workspace. Built for accuracy without sacrificing accessibility, VectraDraw lets users design technical guides, logos, flowcharts, floor plans, assembly instructions, and more, with the precision professionals demand and an interface anyone can learn.

Key Features of ACDSee VectraDraw

• Professional Desktop Publishing: Build multi-page technical manuals with consistent headers and footers using master page templates, add formatted text and data tables, and choose from a library of preset templates to establish document structure in seconds. Export everything as a polished PDF or interactive document, all from one workspace.
• Technical Illustration: A full set of precision drawing tools—including curves, custom paths, and shape-combining options—makes it possible to create clean, accurate 2D blueprints from scratch, while smart snapping and alignment helpers keep everything lined up perfectly.
• Diagramming: Add lines that automatically find the best path between shapes and stay connected when shapes are moved, keeping process flows and organization charts tidy without extra manual work.
• Document Creation: Bring photos, diagrams, and text together in a single workspace, with built-in, non-destructive photo editing to remove backgrounds, adjust color and clarity, or sharpen details without switching to a separate app.
• Auto Trace: Turn scanned sketches, old blueprints, or low-quality logos into clean, editable vector graphics automatically.
• Auto Measurements: Automatically add accurate dimensions—length, radius, and angles—to any drawing.
• Symbol Libraries: Access a large library of standard symbols covering electrical, mechanical, and engineering conventions to keep designs accurate.
• Smart Callouts: Highlight specific details with zoom lenses and numbered labels that update automatically.
• QR Codes: Embed QR codes in documents to link readers to training videos, manuals, or maintenance logs.

“Whether you’re picking up vector design for the first time or you’re a longtime ACDSee user looking to round out your workflow, VectraDraw meets you where you are,” said Frank Lin, COO and CTO at ACD Systems. “We are known for building professional grade yet accessible software, and VectraDraw is no exception.”

ACDSee VectraDraw is designed for a wide range of projects, from flowcharts and diagrams to technical illustrations, assembly instructions, floor plans, site plans, garden layouts, dynamic PDFs, logos, watermarks, and diagram-rich presentations, all without needing to switch between multiple applications.
