Dieline Workflow

How do I link a dieline to a workflow or project?

01. Access Project

A dieline can be linked to a workflow or project only after the project has been initiated. Before initiation, the dieline tab will be disabled, similar to the comments tab.

1. Log in to your ManageArtworks account.
2. Select the Project Views module.
3. Select the desired project.

02. Attach the Desired Dieline

1. Go to the Dieline tab.
2. Click the Add Dieline button and select From Dieline Library.
   
   
    
3. In the Dieline Selection pop-up window, choose the desired dieline from the comprehensive list of predefined dielines or from My Project.
4. Click Attach Dieline to attach the dieline to the project.
   
   

Note: Only one dieline can be linked per project.

03. Access Enhanced Features

Once the dieline and artwork are attached to the project, users can access enhanced features in the web viewer when they open the artwork file. If the dieline is linked to the project, the following options will be available in the web viewer:

• Mark Region
• 3D Simulation

To learn more about these enhanced features, refer to step 4. in the Choose From Asset Library section.

To attach file to the project

1. Go to the Files tab in your project.
2. Click the Edit Form button.
   
   
3. Click the Add File button. This will display two options:
   • From Desktop: Upload files directly from your computer.

You can set a file image as a thumbnail for your project by changing the "Set As Thumbnail" toggle to Yes associated with the desired file. Only one file can be set as the thumbnail.
