April product updates: Add custom text on sketches, new PDF layout, updated Adobe Illustrator extension

Happy spring! We have some fresh news! Our team has been working hard on making Techpacker even better for you. We have implemented some exciting updates. Read on!

Add text to your sketches

Now you have an option to add text specifications directly on your flat sketches. Before you had to draw an arrow callout first and add the specs in a separate annotations field.

We like using this new tool for adding construction details, like stitching as shown below.

You can also add text annotations along with the arrow callouts to keep all design details on a single sketch.

New PDF layout

Those of you that have been using Techpacker for a while, know that we offer many options to customize your tech pack PDF according to your manufacturer's needs.

Many users have been requesting us for a specific layout where they can just showcase their sketches on the entire PDF page.

Well, now we have it too! We added this new layout option in the doc settings called - Fit all to 1 card per page.  This new layout option will be very convenient for complex garments with many details.

Select this option so your factory can easily view each card on a single page, to avoid confusion or mix-up.
