WEBcnx 2024.1 is out now bringing with it a host of new features and performance enhancements. Read more.

Design Library Module

Empower Your Team with Instant Access to Design Data

The WEBcnx Design Library offers unrivalled access to structural design data, providing non-designers the ability to explore, measure, and utilise design information without disrupting designers. This module ensures that your design assets are always available, securely and on-demand, 24/7. Whether you need to search for the best design solutions, measure specific drawings, or export designs for production, the Design Library has you covered.


Key Benefits

  • Standalone Module: Purchase as a standalone solution to gain accurate, real-time design data on demand, ideal for integration with business systems. Estimators and other stakeholders can self-serve, accessing all necessary design data without relying on designers.
  • Seamless Design Data Access: Live access to one-up and layout production information, providing immediate insight without disrupting your design team.
  • Measure and Validate: Measure designs, check rule lengths, and validate technical details independently of the design process.
  • File Export Flexibility: Suppliers can download designs and layouts in a range of formats, making collaboration and production more efficient.
  • On-Demand Specifications: View technical specifications live, and generate PDF reports on demand using customisable templates.

Enhanced with Workflow Management

The Design Library becomes even more powerful when paired with the WEBcnx Task and Workflow Management Module. Design requests can be sent directly to Impact designers using the WEBcnx plugin in Impact. From task creation to design completion, the system automatically updates task statuses, giving team members and management a live view of design workloads. This integrated workflow ensures smooth communication between estimators, designers, and management while maximising efficiency.


Boost Efficiency with the Standards Library

Pair the Standards Library Module with the Design Library to automate the creation of standard designs. This integration allows non-design staff, such as estimators and sales teams, to quickly generate simple designs without relying on designers, ensuring faster production turnaround and freeing up designers for more complex projects.


Maximise Production Planning with the Layout Module

Integrating the Layout Module with the Design Library empowers your team to create efficient production layouts for existing, imported designs. The Layout Module maximises machine and sheet utilisation, ensuring that production processes are optimised without requiring designer involvement for layout creation.


Streamline Feedback with the Design Annotation Module

The Design Annotation Module complements the Design Library by allowing customers, sales, and production staff to directly annotate designs with feedback and requests for changes. Annotations are tied to specific design versions, simplifying the approval process and ensuring that feedback is clearly communicated to designers, reducing the need for manual tracking.


Visualise Artwork with the LiveProof Module

The LiveProof Module enhances the Design Library by allowing graphic designers and customers to visualise artwork on packaging designs. By dragging and dropping artwork onto one-up designs and creating temporary 3D views, users can ensure that artwork is aligned correctly across all panels. This visualisation reduces approval cycles and helps ensure that the artwork meets structural design requirements before production.


Module Dependencies

The Design Library Module, as one of the core modules, can be purchased and used as a standalone module.
