Canvas 2.0 has (I believe) all of these features and more.  Yes, Canvas 2.0
is a truly amazing program.  You can have a drawing of 81 square feet,
using up 154 (maybe a few more) pages.  Of course you would need a lot
of memory to do this, unless it were really simple.  Secondly, Deneba
Software (the makers of Canvas) have an excellent upgrade policy.  Buy
any version of Canvas and get any and all upgrades for free.  This way,
you might be able to buy a copy of Canvas 1.0 for real cheap (I paid
around $115) from a dealer and get a free upgrade.  Of course you will
have to wait some time for the upgrade, but what do you expect from a
cheap workaround?

If you have any more questions about Canvas 2.0, just email me.

Note:  I am not really that much affiliated with Deneba Software,
  although I am a satisfied customer.
