Centric Software, leading PLM solution for fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury and consumer goods companies, has released version 3.0 of its market-driven Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Connector for Adobe Illustrator CC, the industry-standard vector graphics app for sketching, illustration, logo, icon and typography design.
Centric’s integration with Adobe Illustrator CC allows designers to sketch new designs within the familiar app interface and access the same textile, fabric and colour information that can be used by product development team as well as suppliers. The new version also enables designers to share final sketches, line sheets and other designs directly in Centric PLM. Additionally, Centric’s Adobe Connector is compatible across all versions of Creative Cloud including the cutting-edge 2015.3.

“Our goal is to make designers feel at home by bringing the essential elements of PLM, such as a BOM Builder for creating or modifying Bills of Material, into the familiar Adobe Illustrator workspace; the same workspace as flat and technical sketches, fabrics and colours. When designing Centric’s Adobe Connector, we looked at many details including the time to install (a few minutes) and the number of clicks needed for common tasks (only two in many cases),” says Ron Watson, VP Product Development, Centric Software.
