AVA 4.2 - New features & Innovations
We are delighted to announce our latest release - AVA 4.2! It is our third major release within a year and as you would expect, it is feature packed and includes the very latest hardware compatibilites and performance enhancements.
Vectors Work in Repeat
Create stunning, flat colour, fully editable repeat designs with AVA vectors. Vectors in repeat works in both outline and filled modes. Control your repeat design creativity like never before!
Random Colourways
Create any number of ideal colourways within seconds from a defined Colourfile, directly within Quick Colourways. Create more than you need, then sort the best from the rest using a Colourways grid layout.
Easy Relinking of Design Objects
Control designs displayed in your Quick Colourways layouts and templates with a single click. Easily swop between open files in embedded objects, give object control to the master design or reassign missing designs.
Tile with Duplication
Utilise the Quick Colourways 'Tile' feature like never before with the new 'Duplicate' option, allowing step and repeat of any number of selected objects. Quickly tile custom colourway groups or create custom colour chip layouts.
Export in Repeat
Quickly export AVA design files with full effect using the updated 'Save Combined Copy As…' feature, which now saves in the set visual repeat, cutting out the many steps of previous workarounds.
'Size' All Objects
Don't guess the size of embedded or drawn Quick Colourways objects anymore. Specify the exact size of any selected Quick Colourways object using the 'Size' feature.
Shrinkage Compensation Compensate for the shrinking or expansion of digital prints after relevant finishing processes with the new Shrinkage Compensation feature in AVA Digital Print RIP. With its built in calculator, users can easily set up and begin using within minutes.
In Queue Print Size Editing Sent the wrong amount of design to print? No need to reprint! Quickly view and amend width, size or page details in waiting jobs directly within the hot folder queue.
Generic Information on Colourfiles Display date, file name and page number information on Colourfiles within ColourSys. Great for printing hard copies of colourbooks!
Added Functionality for Weavers
AVA's durable Weave module sees a slight face lift and the addition of extra functionality from Integrated formula menus and single click section repeats to the embedding of part layouts in Quick Colourways. Controlled designs, realistic simulations and sophisticated layouts for Weave designers everywhere!
