Designers can complete all work within Adobe Illustrator, as designs can be shared seamlessly.

SAN DIEGO – CBX Software, the leading provider of extended product lifecycle management solutions, announced enhancements to its CBX Design Connector for Adobe Illustrator. The updated software lets designers complete all their work within Adobe Illustrator, while designs and data automatically and seamlessly flow to and from CBX Cloud PLM.

In retail and consumer product development, designers' involvement in updating product lifecycle management tools can be very labor-intensive. For instance, a designer who creates a product design in Adobe Illustrator must export the design as individual images, log into a PLM system, find the relevant product, upload the appropriate images, and finally enter any other details manually.

Creating and sharing great designs just got easier with CBX Cloud PLM and the latest Design Connector. Designers can now create new products, artwork and packaging designs within Adobe Illustrator while letting the CBX Design Connector take care of keeping everything synchronized to CBX Cloud PLM. CBX Design Connector speeds up product design workflows by allowing direct linking, export and update of items from within Illustrator. With direct access to color and material libraries, a worklist to prioritize upcoming work, and visibility of other reference information, designers are empowered to manage projects in an environment that is fully optimized for their success.

"We recognized the bottleneck that designers and technical designers face every day," said CBX CEO Michael Hung. "The CBX Design Connector is another way we are helping to streamline and speed up product development."
