Impact Illustrator Workflow

Impact Illustrator Workflow Enhancements, feat. Live Link for CAD 3D Preview 


In combination with the latest version of our Illustrator plugin, Impact now supports a Live Link with Illustrator, allowing artwork being designed in Illustrator to be automatically displayed upon your 3D folded designs. This includes support for handling multi-piece displays and both the inside and outside faces of a design.  For now, this requires Impact and Illustrator to be installed and running on the same (Windows) workstation, but solutions for Mac and web-based 3D preview are already being explored.

More details on this updated feature can be found within the dedicated Impact Plug-in for Adobe® Illustrator® v2 help guide.

Live 3D previews of Artwork changes direct on structural designs, especially useful when Impact and Illustrator are used side-by-side.
