What’s new

Version 1.0.6

Highlights of this release:

  • Every error is now shown in a clear popup in the middle of the panel, instead of a small note under the button — so you never miss one.
  • The panel remembers your “Design sides” choice and starts every new dieline on it, just like your measurement unit.
  • Design the outside and inside of your packaging together — place and edit both surfaces in one document, and see them both on your 3D mockup.
  • Export your finished 3D mockup as a 3D model file, straight from the panel.
  • GLB carries your artwork and substrate baked in — open it in Blender, Adobe Dimension and other glTF tools.
  • OBJ is geometry only, for tools where you apply the materials yourself.
  • Dress your 3D mockup in a real substrate, pick your material from a grouped named list, and drop dielines straight into your open document.
