Backbone PLM Unveils the New Adobe® Illustrator Plugin

Speed, accuracy, and precision without sacrificing creativity. How is this possible? The answer is simple — Backbone PLM’s new Adobe Illustrator plugin. Backbone’s latest product update enables designers to create technical sketches, colorups, detailed component renderings, and other assets for product specifications and sync those files from Illustrator directly into Backbone.

Designers can say goodbye to manual uploads and work in Illustrator to actively capture changes to artboard revisions, then populate tech packs through Backbone’s cloud-based user interface and dynamic system of interconnected libraries.

Design, technical, and production teams can collaborate on new products in real-time directly through Backbone’s cloud-based user interface and encourage more communicative interactions with factories, vendors, merchandisers, retail teams, and customers.

Teams always have the most current artboard versions as they evolve throughout the design cycle, and together, Backbone and Adobe Illustrator work to help brands manage style libraries and increase coordination, communication, and innovation throughout the various stages of product development from design to production.

According to Backbone CEO, Jeff Fedor, “Backbone was made by designers, for designers. The Adobe integration removes the point of greatest friction for designers in the platform and will make their daily work and collaboration with their teams easier.”

Noteworthy Features:

  • Access to product and component records in Backbone PLM
  • Create, sync, and update designs within Adobe Illustrator
  • Seamless file transfer (No more manual uploads)
  • Compare and replace existing images with updated versions whenever changes are made
  • Track version history and keep track of design revisions
  • New file confirmation modal
  • Review changes modal
  • Authentication workflow
