Terry,
I also have Canvas. For people not familiar with the program it is like a combination of AutoCAD and Photoshop.
Version 11 for the PC, and I assume Mac, has independent high resolution scaling. I just scaled a sample 100.5 in X and 99.5% in Y and it worked as expected.
AutoCAD has a printer/Plotter calibrate option and I did not check Canvas but I would expect that there is an independent printer calibration option so the original data can be left untouched.
For Gerber printing the GC-Preview will allow independent scaling.

Note, some software allows independent scaling of both X & Y to compensate for printer or plotter errors.

I'm using Deneba's Canvas™ which I have used for years now because it doesn't break. I use the software for my renovations and PCB's and radio chassis assemblies, on a Mac. It does it all including the setting of the printout to any percentage but only in whole numbers. 100.5% just isn't there.
