Now, you can fold panels along curves, enabling the design of conical and cylindrical surfaces. By preparing the design in 2D and setting the folding in the 3D drawing, you can create single-piece products like bottleneck labels, coffee cups, and party hats, or elements of multi-part structures.
What's new in 2023 release
The new EngView Package & Display Designer Suite 2023 brings an array of exciting new features and functionalities!
You can now have visualization of conical objects, easier set of angles, improved 3D modeling and presentation and more. Оf course, we have enriched our packaging library with new parametric structures and components to better utilize the conical shape visualization enhancements.
With the release of EngView Packaging Suite 2023, designers and professionals in the packaging and display industry can look forward to a more intuitive and powerful software experience.
Folding Panels into Cones and Cylinders
Enhanced Folding Angle Slider
The folding angle slider has been improved for better usability. It now provides more detailed information about the folding angle and allows for more precise adjustment.
As-you-go Indication of User-Facing Side
The View Side button on the 3D toolbar serves a dual purpose now. In addition to positioning a panel facing the user, it dynamically indicates the panel that is currently facing you as you rotate the model, providing visual guidance.
Combined Solid and Wireframe View
The new Solid Wired mode enables you to observe 3D models in combined solid and wireframe view. This mode emphasizes the model's edges, offering a clearer understanding of its structure.
Isometric View without Perspective Effect
A new viewing mode called Isometric View removes the perspective effect and presents 3D models in a flat, simplified state.
The EngView Packaging Library has been enriched with new designs and structures, expanding the possibilities for conical package design.
Precise Drafting with Construction Grids
Constructing grids on objects enhances drafting precision. These grids serve as distance markers, allowing you to draft objects at exact distances with improved accuracy.
Black-and-White View for Snapshots
You can now set the view of black-and-white snapshots used in print drawings. Adjusting the settings in the 3D module enables you to customize the appearance of these snapshots, which are limited to the 3D area of print drawings.
Fixed-Ratio Scaling of Print Parts
In addition to scaling groups of parts based on the larger part, a new technique allows you to apply a specific scaling ratio, such as 1:10 or 1:5, to the print parts you desire. This precise scaling offers more flexibility and control over your print designs.
