Latest release of Impact CAD software

Arden Software has confirmed the latest release of its CAD software for the packaging sector. Impact 2019 Release 2 is now available offering a range of new features and product enhancements designed to streamline packaging design workflow. The software upgrade was due for release earlier this year, but was postponed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.To get more news about cad software company, you can visit shine news official website.

This latest release includes improvements to graphic handling, an extended range of file formats for exporting, 3D model assembly enhancements, plus a new version of the Impact Plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, which will for the first time offer a live 3D preview of artwork changes.

Matthew Hewitt, Business Development Manager at Arden Software, said: “We released Impact 2019 last year, bringing with it a whole host of feature enhancements which have been well received by designers and die-makers, so we are confident this follow-up release will help further improve the creative process for Impact users.”

Hewitt continues, “A number of our customers were given an early preview of the upgraded software and since then we’ve added even more new features. We’ve developed a range of software enhancements that will simplify the packaging design process and improve the user experience in the fastest, most efficient way.”
Users can also look forward to the new Bill of Materials (BOM), which is set to be released next year. This new feature can accurately generate multi-page BOM reports from an Impact project, which provides a quick and easy way to define all the related items that are required to build one or more solutions. This includes 2D and 3D parts that may have been added from the new, customisable component libraries.

Arden is now working on the next release, which will include a next generation parametric design engine. This update, which enriches the entire use of the product’s design and editing capabilities, moves away from the legacy history-based approach to parametrics, capturing the designer’s intent as they draw and also offering the advantage that any existing or imported drawing can be resized quickly and effortlessly.
