Direct plugin · Adobe Illustrator

Illustrator artwork kept in sync with your PLM

A direct plugin for Adobe Illustrator, listed on the Adobe Exchange. Install it in Illustrator and the panel puts your live styles and orders beside the artboard, so artwork and data move without exporting, emailing or copy-pasting between tools. Flats and print artwork generated in AI Studio download as SVG, so they open as vectors.

  • ✓ Search and open any style or order from inside Illustrator
  • ✓ Pull a style's approved brand colours and apply them as fill or stroke in one click, then edit the hex and push updates back to the PLM
  • ✓ Open AI Studio sketch and print SVGs on the artboard
  • ✓ Download .ai / PDF tech-pack artwork into Illustrator, then upload revised files (up to 100 MB) straight back onto styles and orders
  • ✓ Navigate nested style and order folders with live sync indicators
