I just received my upgrade to Canvas 2.0. It does what you want and is all
round a pretty nifty program (I'll finally be able to give up Cricket Draw,
well, almost. Canvas doesn't bind text or do logarithmic 'fountains'.) Cricket,
by the way is a very sophisticated package but only lets you draw one page
and is somewhat sluggish. Canvas also comes with a DA that is almost as
powerful as the application. If you're looking for a relatively cheap
but feature-laden DA, try DeskDraw (and DeskPaint, if you want bitmaps). It
has zoom, large drawing size and numerous other things typically found
in more expensive tools.
