EngView Package & Display Design has a new compatibility update helping designers use the integration with the latest version of Adobe Illustrator - 29.8.2. Understanding the problem EngView team identified a significant compatibility problem with the new version of Adobe Illustrator 29.8.2. When users saved .ai files with the EngView plug-in, all structural design information and 3D visualization data were lost. This meant that EngView's 3D visualization features could not be preserved in the newest version of Illustrator. Users could still use Adobe Illustrator 29.7.1 or older for the integration. Rapid Response and Resolution Upon discovering the issue, EngView Systems immediately notified customers and provided temporary workarounds while the development team worked on a permanent solution. Users were advised to save files as PDF or EPS format to maintain 3D functionality, or to remain on Adobe Illustrator version 29.7.1 until the fix was available. Update Now Available The newly released update fully restores compatibility with Adobe Illustrator 29.8.2. All EngView plug-in features now function seamlessly with the latest version of Adobe Illustrator, and structural design information and 3D visualization data are properly preserved when saving .ai files. Users can download the update from the EngView Systems website – Downloads page. The update is for both Mac and PC platforms. Lessons and Best Practices EngView Systems recommends that users check the System Requirements and compatibility documents available on the support page before updating Adobe Illustrator in the future. These resources are updated regularly to reflect the latest tested versions and help users avoid potential compatibility issues.Read MoreStudents from University of Banja Luka Develop Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions for Major Brands
Students at the University of Banja Luka have been working on eco-friendly packaging solutions for Barilla and Mulino Bianco as part of their Graphic Engineering program. Under the guidance of Associate Professor Mladen Stancic, PhD, the students tackled real packaging challenges for these well-known brands. The project shows how students can work on real-world design problems while learning. They needed to create packaging that works well, looks good, and is environmentally friendly - which isn't easy to balance. EngView Systems provided the CAD/CAM software that helped make this project possible. Having access to professional design tools allowed the students to create and test their ideas properly. Professor Stancic's mentorship proved crucial in guiding students through the complex process of sustainable packaging design, where every material choice and structural decision impacts both product protection and environmental footprint. The project outcomes demonstrate how proper academic guidance combined with cutting-edge design tools can produce solutions that meet both commercial viability and ecological responsibility standards. The outstanding student participants who contributed to this project include: Aleksandra Novaković, Anđela Pašagić, Anđela Vučić, Andrej Čorokalo, Vedrana Antonić, Dejan Čovakušič, Dejan Kitonjić, Katarina Ristić, Marija Tomašević, Marijana Rulić, Marko Janković, Milica Nikolić, Milica Todorović, Tea Nastić, Zvjezdana Pejić, Anđela Petrić, and Sonja Golo. This successful collaboration between the University of Banja Luka and EngView Systems demonstrates the powerful impact that can be achieved when educational institutions partner with technology providers to offer students real-world learning opportunities. EngView proudly supports more than 20 universities worldwide as part of its commitment to design education.Read More
