Procedure For a project with three components, you need four source files: the combined structure, as a multipart Studio Toolkit Collada file (one). Out of those source files, you can produce view files, such as 3D PDFs, images, movies, 3D collada files for viewing etc. The workflow: Structure: You create the composition of all structures (boxes, bags, etc) in the Studio Toolkit (no graphics). The result is one composition.zae with multiple printable parts. Graphics: You place that same.zae file in all your Adobe Illustrator files (choosing different printable areas). The designer window shows the composition with all the live artwork. Presentation: To make a 3D PDFCollada for viewing, export from Studio Designer. To make a Visualizer multipart packshot, you bring the first Adobe Illustrator document to the front and select Open in Visualizer. In Visualizer you should see the entire composition, but all parts (except one) is blank. Then you bring the next Adobe Illustrator document to the front and select Open in Visualizer again. Visualizer 12 will ask you if you want to merge both the files. Click Yes. This may take a while and its all automatic. There are some limitations you have to work around: You cannot make a composition of ARD files yet. So for every box that you fold, you have to export it to a Collada file first (without graphics, but with the printable part(s)). Theres a similar limitation for.bag files from the old Toolkit for Flexibles, first export them to collada otherwise you cannot importopen them in the new Studio Toolkit to make the composition. Another special case would be a multipart ARD file (multiple designs combined in a single document in ArtiosCAD): Multiple parts in one document Which can be composed to a nice displaycomposition in ArtiosCADs 3D Designer module Saved to 1 ARD file, that can be openedplaced in Illustrator to add graphics to all parts, and shown in 3D in case you have Studio Designer But in order to finally open this in Studio Visualizer to create a moviepackshot or 3D file for Viewing, youll need to first export the current document in Studio Designer to a Collada file without graphics but with Keep printable parts enabled: And next place this new Collada file as structural design file ontop of the graphics (replacing the existing multipart ARD). You can simply do this via File Structural Design Place File. The only difference youll see is that the placed structural design file in the Layers palette is now listing the Collada file instead of the ARD file. Next you can perform an Open in Visualizer from the File menu in Illustrator. This will export the file and open it with all parts in Studio Visualizer: Note 1: In case you want to see the actual board (corrugated, textured boards,.) in Studio Visualizers end result (including graphics), youll need to first open the ARD file in Studio Visualizer, and export it to Collada from here to get the board info included in the Collada file. Now you can use this Collada file as structural design file in Illustrator (instead of the one exported from Studio Designer which simply ignores the board information from ARDs). So it might be useful to set the Model Image Quality to Very High instead of the default High. All trademarks or registered trademarks are property of their respective owners.
